[<CommonParameters>] Description
The New-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter cmdlet creates a virtual network adapter on a virtual machine, virtual machine template, or hardware profile used to create virtual machines managed by Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).
Network Location
You can use the New-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter cmdlet to specify a network location and connect the virtual network adapter to a virtual network configured on the host when you create the adapter, or you can configure those and other settings later by using the Set-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter cmdlet.
Static or Dynamic MAC Address
You can specify whether the virtual network adapter uses a static or dynamic MAC address, and you can specify a static MAC address.
Emulated or Synthetic Virtual Network Adapters
You can use the New-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter cmdlet to create an adapter whose type is either emulated (the default) or synthetic.
For virtual machines on any type of host (Hyper-V, VMware, or XenServer), you can configure a virtual network adapter on the virtual machine that emulates a specific physical network adapter.
For virtual machines on Hyper-V hosts, if the guest operating system installed on a virtual machine is a virtualization-aware operating system (for example, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2016, and some versions of Linux), VMM lets you configure a high-performance synthetic virtual network adapter on the virtual machine to communicate with the physical hardware on the host. You must explicitly specify that a virtual network adapter is synthetic by using the Synthetic parameter.
Virtual Local Area Network
VMM includes support for configuring one or more virtual area networks (VLANs) on a host for use by virtual machines deployed on that host. You can use the New-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter cmdlet (or the Set-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter cmdlet) with the VLAN parameters to attach the virtual network adapter on a virtual machine to a VLAN. To configure corresponding VLAN settings on the host network adapter, use the Add-SCVMHostNetworkAdapter cmdlet or the Set-SCVMHostNetworkAdapter cmdlet.
For an illustration of how to configure VLANs, see the examples for this cmdlet, and see the examples for New-SCVMHostNetworkAdapterConfig and Set-SCVMHostNetworkAdapter.
Note
- A new parameter [-PhysicalNetworkAdapterName] is included in VMM 2019 UR2. For more information, see Parameters.
- New parameters [-AllowedVLanList] and [-NativeVLanId] are included in VMM 2019 UR3. For more information, see Parameters.
Examples
Example 1: Create a virtual network adapter on a virtual machine
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VM $VMThe first command gets the virtual machine object named VM01 and stores the object in the $VM variable.
The second command creates a virtual network adapter on VM01.
Example 2: Create a virtual network adapter on a virtual machine template
PS C:\> $VMTemplate = Get-SCVMTemplate | where { $_.Name -eq "VMTemplate01" }
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VMTemplate $VMTemplateThe first command gets the virtual machine template object named VMTemplate01 and stores the object in the $VMTemplate variable.
The second command creates a virtual network adapter on VMTemplate01.
Example 3: Create an emulated virtual network adapter and a synthetic virtual network adapter on a hardware profile
PS C:\> $HWProfile = Get-SCHardwareProfile | where { $_.Name -eq "NewHWProfile01" }
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -HardwareProfile $HWProfile
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -HardwareProfile $HWProfile -SyntheticThe first command gets the hardware profile object named NewHWProfile01 from the VMM library and stores the object in the $HWProfile variable.
The second command creates a virtual network adapter (a "native" or emulated adapter) on NewHWProfile01.
The last command creates a synthetic virtual network adapter on NewHWProfile01.
Example 4: Create a virtual network adapter on a virtual machine and assign it a unique MAC address
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM04"
PS C:\> $VNIC = New-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VM $VM
PS C:\> $MACPool = Get-SCMACAddressPool -Name "MAC Address Pool 01"
PS C:\> Grant-SCMACAddress -MACAddressPool $MACPool -VirtualNetworkAdapter $VNICThe first command gets the virtual machine object named VM04 and stores the object in the $VM variable.
The second command creates a virtual network adapter on the virtual machine stored in $VM (VM04) and stores the object in the $VNIC variable.
The third command gets the MAC address pool object named MAC Address Pool 01 and stores the object in the $MACPool variable.
The last command gets the next available MAC address from the address pool stored in $MACPool, and assigns it to the virtual network adapter stored in $VNIC.
Example 5: Create a virtual network adapter with a static MAC address and a specific VLAN ID
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM05"
PS C:\> $LogicalNet = Get-SCLogicalNetwork -Name "LogicalNetwork01"
PS C:\> $VirtualNet = Get-SCVirtualNetwork -Name "ExternalVirtualNetwork01"
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VM $VM -LogicalNetwork $LogicalNet -VirtualNetwork $VirtualNet -MACAddress "00-16-D3-CC-00-1A" -MACAddressType "Static" -VLANEnabled $True -VLANId 3The first command gets the virtual machine object named VM05 and stores the object in the $VM variable.
The second command gets the logical network object named LogicalNetwork01 and stores the object in the $LogicalNet variable.
The third command gets the virtual network object named ExternalVirtualNetwork01 and stores the object in the $VirtualNet variable.
The last command creates a new virtual network adapter for VM05, connects the adapter to the logical network stored in $LogicalNet and the virtual network stored in $VirtualNet. The command provides a static MAC address for the virtual network adapter, enables VLAN and specifies a VLAN ID of 3.
Note: This example assumes that that your host is already connected to a VLAN or, if not, that your host has two network adapters. If your host has a single network adapter, assigning the adapter to a VLAN that is unavailable to the VMM server will prevent VMM from managing the host.
