NAME
hvn —
Hyper-V networking interface
SYNOPSIS
hvn* at hyperv?
DESCRIPTION
The hvn driver provides support for a
Network Virtual Service Client (NetVSC), a virtual networking interface that
relays device requests to the Virtual Service Provider (VSP) in the
management operating system via the VMBus.
NetVSC emulates an RNDIS 1.0 compliant device on top of a custom NVS protocol operating over the VMBus channel ring.
Individual networking interfaces can be renamed by
issuing a Rename-VMNetworkAdapter PowerShell command
in the management domain. In order to enable sending and receiving of IEEE
802.1q (VLAN) frames, the virtual port needs to be put into
Trunk mode with the
Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan command.
