Hyper-V NAT Switch Creation

This guide will walk you through:

• creating a NAT network
• connecting an existing virtual machine to your new n2.etwork
• confirming that the virtual machine is connected correctly

Requirement:

Hyper-V role installed.

Administrastion privilege.

1. Create a new internal switch.

New-VMSwitch -SwitchName "SwitchName" -SwitchType Internal

2. Located the ifIndex of this NetAdapter which is mapped by internal switch.

PS C:\> Get-NetAdapter

Name                  InterfaceDescription               ifIndex Status       MacAddress           LinkSpeed
----                  --------------------               ------- ------       ----------           ---------
vEthernet (intSwitch) Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter        24 Up           00-15-5D-00-6A-01      10 Gbps
Wi-Fi                 Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Net...      18 Up           98-5F-D3-34-0C-D3     300 Mbps
Bluetooth Network ... Bluetooth Device (Personal Area...      21 Disconnected 98-5F-D3-34-0C-D4       3 Mbps

So with this output, ifIndex 24 will be selection.

3. New a NAT GateWay Address as an inside address(it is not necessary)

New NatIpAddress -ipAddress 192.168.0.1 -PrefixLength 24 -InterfaceIndex 24

4. Config or New a NAT policy which is equal to config a nat offload (important).

new-NetNat -Name myFirstInternalNat -InternalIPInterfaceAddressPrefix 192.168.0.0/24
