Hyper-V hosts single nic VLAN config
Hello
I have 2 Hyper-V hosts with a single nic (Intel NUC's) and I would like the VMs on them to use different than default vlans.
I configured the 2 ports as vlan 1 untagged (default) and vlan 5 tagged.
Creating a vm on each host and assigning them VLAN 5. After booting them I can the GS108TV2 learned their mac address but I can't seem to ping the vm on one host from the vm on the other host.
What ami I missing ?
Many thx

If you configure both Hyper-V hosts for using VLAN 5 on the adapter (while keeping VLAN 1 for the platform config), both VMs will connect to the VLAN 5.
The question is of/how you provide services like DHCP, Internet (default gateway, DNS relay), and how you handle the access to the VLAN 5 IP subnet which must be different of course fro the subnet on VLAN 1.

Hi
thank you for your swift reply. I did not quite get what you mean however.
The Hyper-V hosts are connected on VLAN 1 while the adapter on the VMs is set to use VLAN 5.
I can see the mac addresses of the 2 VMs learned by the switch on VLAN 5, but I can't ping them from each VMs respectively, and firewalling is off...
Routing to other VLANS ot he internet should not be an issue as I would dedicate a VM with mulitple NIC's to do the routing.
I just can't understand why both VMs can't communicate on VLAN 5...
Many thx for your help!

The VLAN5 is configued on the switch, and the ports are configured for VLAN1 untagged/PVID1 plus the VAN5 tagged membership, so building a trunk port?
