I am setting up a new SBS2011 Premium HyperV system using Server 2012 with Hyper-V with 4 Ethernet ports (one unused for now) and had some questions on how to setup the virtual switches and NICs for hyper-V.
I've read that one NIC should be reserved for management, one NIC reserved for the SBS2011 VM and another for the SBS2008 premium (SQL) VM but I'm not sure how that should be setup in Hyper-V 2012.
Do I create a hyper-V virtual switch for the first three Ethernet ports enabling management only on the first one?
Or do I create only two virtual switches and leave the management NIC as a standard NIC on server 2012 (and if so, where does it get its DHCP/DNS?).
I know the SBS server wants to have DNS and DHCP services but doesn't this prevent the hyperV host from accessing the internet if the SBS2011 is down? What do people do to handle that?
Thanks.
