Creating and assigning Logical Switches to Hyper-V hosts
Now that the Logical Networks and Uplink and Virtual Port Profiles have been created, they need to be applied to a Logical Switch.
As the converged networking model will be used, the Logical Switch will have several virtual NICs created for the Management OS to use:
- Management
- Live Migration

You will need to have a Hyper-V cluster with no logical switches (or standard switches) configured and attached to VMM. Please visit http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/gg610621.aspx for details.
Getting ready
As a prerequisite, all of the previous recipes must be complete. Additionally, you must have at least one Hyper-V host in the environment to test with. Please see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610646.aspx for details on how to add Hyper-V hosts to VMM.
