You need to assign a specific amount of available network bandwidth to VM1

You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012. Server1 has the Hyper- V server role
installed.
On Server1, you create a virtual machine named VM1.VM1 has a legacy network adapter.
You need to assign a specific amount of available network bandwidth to VM1.
What should you do first?

You need to assign a specific amount of available network bandwidth to VM1.
What should you do first?

A.
Remove the legacy network adapter, and then run the Set-VMNetworkAdaptercmdlet.

B.
Add a second legacy network adapter, and then runthe Set-VMNetworkAdoptercmdlet.

C.
Add a second legacy network adapter, and then configure network adapter teaming.

D.
Remove the legacy network adapter, and then add anetwork adapter.

Explanation:
A: Set-VMNetworkAdaptercmdlet configures features of the virtual network adapter in a virtual machine or the
management operating system B: The legacy network adapter doesn’t support bandwidth management C: The
legacy network adapter doesn’t support bandwidth management D: Add a New network adapter The legacy
network adapter doesn’t support bandwidth management

So why isn’t the answer A?

Because it states “what would you do first”. You cannot remove the adapter then run the Set-VMNetworkAdaptercmdlet

Well, of course you would remove the adapter first but since there will be no adapters now, there will be no point of running Set-VMNetworkAdapter cmdlet.

Not sure I like the available answers here….

To control the amount of network bandwidth allocated to the network adapter, in settings for the VM, Select the Network Adapter, and select the Enable Bandwidth Management check box and supply values for the Minimum Bandwidth and Maximum Bandwidth settings.

Hyper-V supports two types of network
and storage adapters: synthetic (Network Adapter) and emulated (sometimes called legacy).

So you don’t need to remove or add anything..just change the settings…

If I had to choose..id say D.

Only because the question isn’t asking you to do NIC Teaming, or adding a second NIC.

I dont know what difference removing a Legacy adapter and adding a Synthetic would make to being able to set bandwidth?

Only that Synthetic is much faster than Legacy..but again the question doesn’t mention this..

you can also nic team Synthetic and Legacy…further confusing the situation..
none of the available answers are actually giving the correct answer…
you don’t need to remove or add anything..just change the settings…

Legacy Network Adapter does not have Bandwidth Management, you need to add a Network Adapter for Bandwidth Management, so answer D seems correct to me.

The correct answer is D

D: Add a New network adapter The legacy
network adapter doesn’t support bandwidth management.
