This is the network card that is physically connected to the network. Select the physical network card to be paired with the new virtual switch.

Under ‘Connection Type’, ensure that External Network has been selected. Under ‘Virtual Switch Properties’, give the new switch a name such as External VM Switch. Under 'What type of virtual switch do you want to create?', select External. Under the 'Virtual Switches' section, select New virtual network switch. In Hyper-V Manager, select Virtual Switch Manager. Select the server in the left pane, or click "Connect to Server." in the right pane. If search doesn't find Hyper-V Manager, Hyper-V or the Hyper-V management tools are not enabled. A quick way to do this is by hitting the Windows button or key then type "Hyper-V Manager". Create a Virtual Switch with Hyper-V Manager Once completed, your Hyper-V host will have a virtual switch that can connect virtual machines to the internet through your computer's network connection. This exercise walks through creating an external virtual switch. Create an external switch to share your computer's network with the virtual machines running on it. Hyper-V has three types of virtual switches - external, internal, and private. Creating a virtual network is optional - if your virtual machine doesn't need to be connected to the internet or a network, skip ahead to creating a Windows Virtual Machine.

This is how a Private Cloud IP block is organised: The first and the last four IP addresses in the block are reserved for this purpose. On each block delivered by OVHcloud, five IP addresses are reserved for configuring the network and must never be used for your virtual machines. Click on your datacenter and click on the Configure tab.

You can retrieve the information of your public IP address block directly from the vSphere client, by going to the Hosts and Clusters section. You must have already created a virtual machine.This guide will show you how to assign a public or private IP address to a virtual machine. After you have created a virtual machine (VM), you can assign to it a public or private IP address so that the VM has internet and/or private network connectivity.
