enabling kdnet in vm - how to enable kdnet in hyper-v vm when having multiple VNICs inside vm?

Question

I have one VM with two virtual NICs attached to it - one for mgmt and one private

Followed this document to enable Kdnet inside VM.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/setting-up-network-debugging-of-a-virtual-machine-host

Using this method I can not provide which virtual NIC to use for KDNET debugging and its selecting the private network interface to enable kdnet which I dont want.

So how can I specify which virtual network interface to use for kdnet inside a VM when we have multiple virtual network adapter present in VM? Please let me know if there is any way.

Hi,

1. Do you create the external virtual switch on the VM, if yes, what is the subnet of the network?
2. On the Hyper V host, please provide the ipconfig /all result of the external virtual switch NIC's IP address (please clear the last IP number to prevent your privacy).
3. On the target VM, please also provide the ipconfig /all result of the two NICs (please clear the last IP number to prevent your privacy).
4. On the target VM, please provide the result of "C:\KDNET>kdnet", exampled in the article.
5. Besides, since private network can't communicate with Hyper V host, so, it's stange it use private IP address to communicate with Hyper V host external virtual switch IP address. So, I required the information above.

Thanks for your time!
Best Regards,
Anne
