| | External Network and Bandwidth Monitoring I have about 10 VPS running on my Host, All are sharing the same external network card. A few things that I just can’t seem to understand about Hyper-V is: Here is the goal, I would like to have multiple external virtual network cards that the VM's use to connect to the internet, The benefit to this I can see are.. I can shutdown the network at any time (security, attack, etc..). I can monitor the bandwidth of that one VM and have better control over its network. Can I create virtual external network cards for each VM so they can access the internet, If so do you have some information or direction for me? If not, then how can you track bandwidth usage from each VM or take a VM off the network without having to login or do a shutdown, is it possible? |

You can create a external virtual switch for each NIC in the host if you wish. The other alternative would be to create multiple private networks (ie virtual networks not linked to the physical network or the host) and link these to the physical network through a multihomed vm running a software firewall program. eg Internet | physical LAN | ------------------ | | host firewall vm | --------------------- | | | net1 net2 net3 etc |
