There are two physical NICs in Hyper-V host. I want one NIC dedicated to the host, and the other to provide external network to two VMs. Would below be appropriate?
- First NIC: assigning it the host IP, without using it for any Virtual Netorks
- Second NIC: Create an External Network, along with a Microsoft Virtual Switch, and use it to provide network services to the VMs. Virtual NICs for the VMs would be associated with that External Network. A static IP would be assigned to the virtual switch of this adapter, and each VM would be assigned a static IP as well.
Alternatively am I better of teaming the two NICs?
Thanks
