Hi Anahaym,
Hope you're doing well.
To rename network adapters or set trunk mode to a specific NIC on a virtual machine in Hyper-V, you can use PowerShell commands. Here's how you can achieve this:
- Before proceeding, identify the NICs you want to configure on the virtual machine.
- You can rename the network adapters on the virtual machine using the "Rename-VMNetworkAdapter" cmdlet. Please open PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command:
Rename-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName "1_DC01" -Name "OldName" -NewName "NewName"
Replace "1_DC01" with the name of your virtual machine and "OldName" with the current name of the network adapter you want to rename, and "NewName" with the desired new name.
- To set trunk mode for a specific NIC on the virtual machine, you can use the "Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan" cmdlet. Just open PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command:
Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -VMName "1_DC01" -VMNetworkAdapterName "NewName" -Trunk -AllowedVlanIdList 2-1024 -NativeVlanId 1
Replace "1_DC01" with the name of your virtual machine and "NewName" with the name of the network adapter you want to configure as a trunk.
