Step 8
Select
Hardware
>
Add Hardware
to add the network interfaces (vNICs) to the VM.
a) Select
Network Adapter
and click
Add
.
Microsoft Hyper-V adds the network adapter and highlights that hardware with the status Virtual Switch
“
Not
Connected
”
.
b) Select a virtual switch on the drop-down menu to place the network adapter onto it.
Repeat these steps for each vNIC added. The Cisco CSR 1000v supports only the HV NETVSC vNIC type. The
maximum number of vNICs supported is 8.
The hot-add of vNICs is not supported with Microsoft Hyper-V, so the network interfaces need to be added
before launching the VM.
Note
After the Cisco CSR 1000v boots, you can verify the vNICs and how they are mapped to the interfaces using the
show platform software vnic-if interface-mapping
command. See
Mapping Cisco CSR 1000v Network Interfaces
to VM Network Interfaces, on page 213
.
Step 9
Click
BIOS
to verify the boot sequence for the VM.
The VM should be set to boot from the CD.
