I have a virtual machine running Server 2012. The host machine machine is running Hyper-V. I need the virtual machine to be on a separate VLAN with only internet access and possibly some limited access from other machines on the local network. The host machine connects to a Cisco 3560X managed switch. The switch is connected to a port on our Sonicwall firewall.<br />
<br />
I am not sure what the best approach is nor would I know exactly how to configure it.<br />
<br />
I think the main concern I have right now is how to configure the port on the Cisco switch. Will adding the VLAN during work hours cause any distrubtion?...Do I need to make any changes on the firewall?

How to configure a Hyper-V virtual machine to be on a separate VLAN?

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
