Help with network issue

[Sonic007]

Hi everyone,

 

I was wondering if someone could help.

 

I’m trying to update a server. I’ve got two hyperV virtual servers and they all work fine.

 

I’m trying to update the host machine which is not on the domain.

 

I currently have NIC1 which is set to dhcp and then a virtual Ethernet switch for hyperV.

 

Having a bit of a crazy day. So if I want to update the host machine do I just give the NIC1 a static IP with gateway and dns.

 

Or will this cause issues to the virtual Ethernet switch?

 

 

Thanks all.

Hows your nics setup , are they in a trunk ? or are they standalone. Our ip is set in our virtual switch as all 4 nic's are in a team/trunk

Shouldn't make any difference to the virtual switch. From the physical switch's PoV it's a port with multiple IPs and MACs using it

Thankyou.

 

The virtual switch is setup with a static IP and then the correct default gateway and dns.

 

I was worried it relied on NIC1 (the actual physical NIC) therefore didn’t want to change anything on that?.

Misread your first post apologies, no it shouldn't affect that
