Setup HyperV Virtual Switch
Setting up a virtual switch in HyperV is pretty straight forward.Select "Virtual Switch Manager" and you'll have the choice to create a new virtual switch.Select "External" from the list and then "Create Virtual Switch".Set the name of this new switch to "HyperV-LAN"Select a network adapter from "External Networks".The important part here is if the NIC is dedicated or shared on the machine.If you plan to share the NIC then check "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter".If you plan to dedicate a NIC to the switch then do no check "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter" and it will disappear from the host.Typically if your NIC can support it you want to enable SR-IOV.Click OK and the window will disappear.Now you can pick this network in the settings of Any VM under Network Adapter -> Virtual Switch.
