Configuring a Single Network Adapter
For a single network adapter on Hyper-V, this section covers configuration
considerations on Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and
Windows Server 2012.
Windows Server 2008
When configuring a 8400/3400 Series network adapter on a Hyper-V system, be
aware of the following:
An adapter that is to be bound to a virtual network should not be configured
for VLAN tagging through the driver’s advanced properties. Instead,
Hyper-V should exclusively manage VLAN tagging.
Because Hyper-V does not support jumbo frames, you should not use this
feature; otherwise, connectivity issues may occur with the child partition.
The Locally Administered Address (LAA) set by Hyper-V takes precedence
over the address set in the adapter’s advanced properties.
