Creating virtual networks and binding them to the IAG virtual machine adapters

Applies To: Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG)

After you have created the IAG virtual machine, you need to create external virtual networks and bind them to the physical network adapter so that physical computers can access a physical network. You must create at least two external virtual networks: one for internal physical network adapters and one for external physical network adapters.

To create virtual networks and bind them to the virtual machine adapter

  1. On the computer on which you want to install the IAG virtual machine, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Hyper-V Manager.

  2. In the Hyper-V Manager window, in the Action pane, click Virtual Network Manager.

  3. On the Virtual Network Manager page, in the Create Virtual Network group box, click External, and then click Add.

  4. On the Virtual Network Manager page, in the Connection Type group box, make sure that the External button is selected.

  5. In the list, click the adapter that will serve as the IAG external adapter.

  6. In the New Virtual Network group box, in the Name box, enter a logical name for this adapter, and then click Apply.

  7. Repeat steps 3 though 6 in order to add the adapter that will serve as the IAG internal adapter.

  8. In the Hyper-V Manager window, in the Actions pane, click Settings.

  9. On the Settings for virtual machine page, in the tree, click Add Hardware, click Network Adapter, and then click Add.

  10. In the Network Adapter group box, in the Network list, click the virtual network that you want to connect to the server on which the virtual machine is running, and then click Apply.

    There must be at least two network adapters: one representing the external IAG network adapter and one representing internal IAG network adapters. One network adapter is defined when you create the IAG virtual machine in Creating an IAG virtual machine. If necessary, repeat step 10 to create additional network adapters.
