Managing and Configuring Hyper-V Virtual Switches -- Default, Internal, External, and Private

[@LandoKarzuk]

This was the best video lesson over 30 minutes long I’ve ever seen, top tier content, thank you.

[@troyberg]

Thanks for commenting, Skip. I appreciate the feedback!

[@Photoshop240117]

I agree

[@HideBuz]

I just spent half a day trying to figure out Hyper V networking and you, Sir, nailed it all down in a single video. No ads, no bla bla, no fancy effects. Right to the point with clear instructions. You are a great instructor! Subscribed!

[@exyzee426]

Why does this video not have more views. Best explanation I have seen to date on virtual switches.

[@troyberg]

Thanks for the support! Super glad it was helpful.

[@gujjucarry848]

i do not know why there are no any views on your video may be very few people study this topic but i found your way of explaining is amazing i am international student and i am wasting my 20,000 dollars in college but i am learning from internet keep making videos sir you will definitely get sucess.

[@troyberg]

I'm truly glad to hear the video helped. I've got lots more videos and topics planned. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

[@godlynt1359]

This video changed my life. I have never seen a better demonstration in hyperv. Before this video, my wife had left me with the kids. So when i came across this video i learned a beautiful lesson. To never give up, to keep going, no matter what i face in life. Thank you Troy Berg for this amazing revalation in my life. I love you, and i will be forever in debt to you. I love hyper v :). Hello

[@pederreite3227]

I cried when i read this message. Reading about your incredible story really inspired me to do great things. This is why my entire monthly salary from august will go to a charity for children with autism. God bless america, and god bless you godlynt! I love you, and wish great things upon you.

[@ЕфимСироткин-у3о]

The last example of configuring two absolutely isolated nets with Internet access is completely awesom! Thanks a lot!

[@troyberg]

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for commenting!

[@dipeshkundnani27]

Thanks sir, You have best teaching skills. I watched 10+ videos know where I made mistakes during internal network not only I got it but also learned about external network and isolated network also. 👍

[@gregrosenheck8852]

I'm in a community college using a text book or ebook that assigns labs, reading assignments and short quizes that does the grading for my teacher, whom by the way doesn' speak english very well. I was on the topic of setting up a vertual switch in my book and came across the lab on making vitrual switches after that lab I was ready to quit the course, but thanks to you I now have the consept. Thank you so so much for putting this together - I bought 2 other laptops with windows pro I will practice what you have taught on you tube - thank you so much.

[@tomlee3166]

One of the best KZbin videos to explain exactly what Hyper-V works for testing environment setup I've ever seen. Kudos to Troy!!

[@or_test]

"This was the best video lesson over 30 minutes long I’ve ever seen, top tier content, thank you." +1

[@RobertSymborski]

Thank you for sparing my limited attention span. Raw information demonstrated by clear examples. Saved me from hours of experimenting! For anyone attempting to replicate these examples, be sure to check target VM's Firewall if ping requests initially fail. In 2024 ... a newly created Win10(22H2) VM may have its Inbound ICMPv4 Firewall Rule disabled which will inhibit its response to any external ping request (ie. the request will be blocked by the Firewall). Windows Defender Firewall -> Advanced Settings -> Inbound Rules -> File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In) -> Enable

[@swa795]

Thanks for the explanation ! I was wondering which step I did wrong

[@kyleli9941]

I searched all over the world for an explanation with at least a network structure diagram... Thanks god, I finally find this video from you. And your accent is so good that I can even understand with a 1.2x speed as a non-native speaker.

[@thembones1895]

This is an awesome video, wow. Really well done.

[@troyberg]

Thank you so much! Cheers!

[@mikeg8543]

Absolute gem of a video. Clear, concise and straight to the point! Thanks a lot.

[@troyberg]

Thanks Mike!

[@hobsonbeeman7529]

I forgot to mention in my previous comment, that I could clearly understand what you were saying and didn’t have to get my Hindi translator out….thank god!!!

[@chaosmassive8627]

this video would be a godsend for folks that studying for MS cert or just simply learning more about hyper-v

[@troyberg]

Glad you found it helpful. I appreciate the feedback!

[@danielroybal8008]

Just started my journey into home labbing, and your channel has helped me a lot the past couple days. Thank you for the content

[@mdjames0001]

Extremely well done. Very clear and concise despite the apparent length. Saved me many hours of beating my head on the access problem.

[@vinylastronaut1095]

this is the best explanation that i have seen on 1. what the virtual switches are and 2. how to apply them in a practical real life manner. I just started a new job and this realm is different for me, its truly saving my butt right now and making it easier for me to perform but most importantly UNDERSTAND. thank you!

[@worldcitizen811]

Fantastic video. Cleared all my fundamental doubts about networking. The best part is that Troy explained it so effortlessly and that made it extremely interesting. Truly Networking 101.

[@gooooblaster1800]

Your students are BLESSED having you as professor. If you had independent courses online id be signing up in a heart beat!

[@OMNS777]

Just deployed a new Hyper-V host.. Best lesson ever!! Thanks Troy!

[@richardmaltas2593]

Wow, I cannot thank you enough. The views will come. One more IT mystery solved. Many of the other sources I have been using for study seem to skip over this concept. Again thank you for the excellent explanation! Looking forward to more videos!

[@troyberg]

Thanks for the feedback. Glad I hit the mark with this one. Lots more videos in the works!

[@ivanfernandez2262]

Thank you for this informative Video, It was clear, concise and I appreciate the interaction with the two Vm's.

[@rjmaas]

Hyper-V networking now makes complete sense thanks to your video. Thank you so much. Excellent work.

[@MM-vl8ic]

There's a lot of "I know how to" published in the world wide junk drawer... You present your knowledge well and I can easily verify your knowledge works... Thanks... spent over twenty plus hours rummaging through the junk drawer to find this....

[@sphark-f6y]

Thank you Troy, by far the best explanation on the internet. So in summary, for my HPE Proliant DL380 Gen11 with HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331T Adapter to a Switch: For the Hyper-V Host (management OS) Create 1 x external virtual switch for PCIe Slot 15 Port 1 and tick "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter" Then configure TCP/IP on the vethernet adapter. Then again, why does the host need a external virtual switch at all? Why not leave as a normal physical NIC? For the Virtual Machines (Switch Embedded Team) Using powershell, create 1 x external virtual switch (Ports 2,3,4) and do not tick "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter"

[@victorandreev9318]

Excellent presentation! Couldn't be any better than that!! Thank you, Troy.

[@omarkhalid2966]

Best Hyper-V networking explanation I've ever seen

[@818stone]

Hi Troy This is the best video I have seen about Hyper V switches. I am only doing some self learning about VM and networking and this explains really well. Pls do continue if you can. My suggestion is if you can add some explanation to this video about host that use WIFI rather than wired. It adds more network adaptors and when a external switch is created in Hyper V, transfer rate to other non VM machines slow down to unusable. There is a workaround by disabling both Large Send Offload Version 2 (IPv4) and Large Send Offload Version 2 (IPv6) in the adaptor but an explanation of what is happening will be good.

[@Ramadaanahmed-og7vf]

One of the best explanation for virtualization thanks alot sir

[@ravendark5588]

That was much better explanation of these switches than the course I've bought. lol

[@ntiamoahebenezer7903]

He is the best IT teacher ever .I watched this video without a blink .I will need your videos on Microsoft Azure

[@hobsonbeeman7529]

Your lesson cleared the air on how the various interfaces could work in different network environments. Typically on Dell dual NIC servers I give the VMs their own physical NIC and the host it’s own NIC also

[@troyberg]

That's a super smart approach. That's often my go-to design as well.

[@rudi8192]

Good tutorial. You prove that IT is not impossible. It just needs good teachers.

[@horheme4898]

Much appreciate the work done to explain Hyper-v Network... more power ...Thank you!...

[@tiago_the_wolf]

I had to subscribe the man is simply one of the best teachers I have seen teaching this as it was so simple to understand.

[@valentinoprea3815]

Excellent, and thanks for not asking/begging for a "Like/Share". Thanks again Troy. Awesome explanations.

[@aries6776]

Brilliant! I was so confused by virtual switches until this. Really well explained.

[@CFPANDRADE]

this is by far the best video about hyper-v networking, very well done!

[@nelsonbriles7061]

I agree...the tutorial is very well done, indeed

[@harshith_takkala]

Thanks a lot. Was struggling with External switch and trying to reset the whole network configuration each time when the host was not getting internet. Was worried, but now kudos ❤

[@freadameshete2210]

This was the best video lesson ever on Hyper-V

[@jaybala]

i work in hyperv environment. never fully understand all the switches use. this really helps

[@Dabket3araB]

In case you get a request timed out when you ping through a private network, you can turn off the firewall or create a Firewall in-bound rule to allow ICMP echo packets

[@ivan-hm9ll]

Thanks a lot ! This is very important btw because i was wondering what tf is the problem for hours.......

[@abtinj]

One of the greatest videos on the topic. Came here to watch some parts made me watch all of it. Thank you Troy

[@mariex800]

Very well explanation with Hyper-V switches. Excellent contents, sir. Luv it. Thank you. :)

[@derspacer2259]

What a great video. I was looking for a way to connect my Hyper-V VMs, when I realized with the help of your video, that it should already work with the Default Switch. I then noticed that in my ping attempts, I had a typo in the IP address. Noob mistake! :)

[@nabeelsheik]

Very nice and detailed explanation really very much useful and educative content Thank you

[@barrypersonal360]

This video is absolutely the best explanation of Hyper-V on the internet !!! Amazing work Sir !

Thank you sir! This was a fantastic educational video :) I am trying to setup a home lab to test out site to site vpn connectivity to Azure, and this video cleared up my `confusions` regarding how the different switches work/behave inside a Hyper-V! I owe you a bottle of wine! Subscribed!

[@suave6565]

You are a godsend. Last night I was looking for an explanation how to setup Hyper V on a 2019 server that I am working on and sat from the beginning, I was engaged. You explanation and visuals helped me understand this portion for the virtual switch. Started following you, this is the only channel that explains so clear and you come out with a solid understanding with confidence.

[@Paraclete.Kinyanjui]

simply incredible; passionate, patient and loves his stuff!! great!

[@Deen44494]

May God bless you, i watched like 5 hours of videos on YT trying to find out how the switches work, you were my last hope and i am glad i didnt gave up. Cheers!

[@mariojau]

I have to admit that this is the best instructional video I have seen. Straight, to the point and concise. I am using windows 11 and I saw an External Virtual Switch created when I turned on Hyper-V. Also, I do not see a default switch in the control panel list of interface but I see it with ipconfig. What gives.

[@SlavomirK.]

Amazing! Thanks for it! Great content, quite understandable. Very understandable speech for me, for someone who is not a native English speaker. Thanks again.

[@pauloduarte2494]

wow, extremely helpful video. seems like i've been messing up with the private switch, i was using it as my virtualized pfsense lan/vlans "cable" for the virtual machines. it worked, with internet access and VPN connection externaly to the VMs, but only because i have another NIC as WAN. Now i see things can be made in a better way. Thanks a lot.

[@hobsonbeeman7529]

Troy, this was a very informative lesson on HyperV virtual switch configuration. I liked how you defined the different Virtual Switch network settings and explained the results of those settings and what the resultant network is and how it can be used. I’ll give you an A+ on this video and great job also on the video work…thanks for you effort.
