Chapter 9 Flashcards

For virtual network adapters, HyperV assigns a value up to 256 to create individual MAC addresses .

How Many Virtual Network Adapters can a Virtual Machine Support?

Up to 8 synthetic vNICs can be deployed on a single VM. They generally provide better performance than legacy vNICs.

How Many Dynamically Assigned MAC Addresses can a Hyper-V Server Provide?

In addition, when internal virtual networks are created the virtual adapter created on the HyperV host uses a MAC address from the pool. By default, there can only be a total of 256 devices using MAC addresses from the dynamic pool.

What is the Maximum Number of NICs Used in NIC Teaming for Hyper-V Virtual Machines?

Using Synthetic Virtual Network Adapters When Possible
Up to 8 synthetic virtual NICs can be attached to a Hyper-V VM, while the maximum number of legacy network adapters that can be attached to a VM is 4. A synthetic virtual network adapter is added by default into a Hyper-V Generation 2 VM after creation.
