except this time you will select the One Connected Network option and the option
“Allow new VM networks created on this logical network to use network
virtualization.” A network site is created and a VLAN is configured if needed along
with an IP subnet (this must be set), and this will purely be used so that the Hyper-V
hosts that are hosting virtual machines that are participating in network virtualization
can be allocated their provider address (PA). An IP pool must also be created for the
site for the IP address allocation for the PA. No DNS servers are required for the PA
network, but if you are using multiple subnets, a gateway would need to be defined.
CREATING VM NETWORKS
With logical networks created, the next step is to create the VM networks to which
virtual machines can be connected. In SCVMM 2016 , within the logical networks view,
there is a convenient option to create the VM network by using the Create VM
Network button or by right-clicking a logical network and selecting Create VM
Network. For now, you will use the old-fashioned way:
1. Open Virtual Machine Manager.
2. Open the VMs And Services workspace (not Fabric, because this is now a construct
directly related to virtual machines).
3. Select the VM Networks navigation node.
4. Click the Create VM Network button.
5. Enter a name and description for the VM network, select the logical network, and
click Next.
6. Depending on the logical network selected, this may be the end of the
configuration. For example, a connected network without network virtualization
requires no further configuration. A VLAN type network that is isolated will show
an Isolation screen, which allows a specific VLAN (site) to be selected for this
specific VM network, or you can select Automatic, which allows SCVMM to select a
site automatically based on those available on the logical network. If a network
that is enabled for network virtualization is selected, additional configuration
pages must be completed to define the configuration for the IP scheme in the
virtual network space (CA). I cover this in detail in the section “Network
Virtualization.”
Click Finish to complete the VM network creation process.My final configuration is shown in Figure 3. 23 for my logical networks and VM
networks.
