Network Controller

• Requires Server 2016 Datacenter Edition
• What is it?
• A Centralized point to configure, manage and
  troubleshoot your physical and virtual network
  infrastructure in your Datacenter
• Automate network infrastructure instead of manual
  configuration
• A highly available and scalable server Role
• Network Controller supports both domain and
  non-domain environments
• Network Controller authenticates users and
  network devices by using Kerberos

• Non-domain environments, require certificates for
  authentication
• Network Controller provides two application
  programming interfaces (API)
• Southbound API allows Network Controller to
  communicate with the network
• Northbound API allows you to communicate with
  Network Controller

Network Controller Northbound API allows you to
configure, monitor, troubleshoot, and deploy new
devices on the network by using
Network Controller Northbound API

• PowerShell
• Management Applications, such as
• System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM)
• System Center Operations Manager (SCOM)

Test Lab

• Network Controller in a test lab environment, run
  the Network Controller server role on a single
  physical server (without using Hyper-V) or on a
  Hyper-V virtual machine (VM) that is installed on
  a Hyper-V host

www.netcomlearning.com info_at_netcomlearning.com
[phone]
11
Production

• Deploy a cluster by using either three physical
  servers (without Hyper-V) or by using three VMs
  that are installed on three Hyper-V hosts

Firewall Management

• Configure and manage
• Allow/deny firewall Access Control rules for your
  VMs for both East/West and North/South network
  traffic in your datacenter

Software Load Balance Management

• Multiple servers can host the same workload,
  providing high availability and scalability

Virtual Network Management

• Deploy and configure Hyper-V Network
  Virtualization
• Hyper-V Virtual Switch and virtual network
  adapters on individual VMs
• Store and distribute virtual network policies

RAS Gateway Management

• Deploy, configure, and manage Hyper-V hosts and
  virtual machines (VMs) that are members of a RAS
  Gateway pool
• Provides gateway services to your tenants
• Note
• In System Center Virtual Machine Manager, RAS
  Gateway is named Windows Server Gateway

Server 2016 NIC Teaming

• Server 2016 NIC teaming provides
  hardware-independent bandwidth aggregation and
  transparent failover for both physical and
  virtualized servers

Reliable and Easy to Configure

• In Server Manager, click Local Server.
• In the Properties pane locate NIC Teaming, and
  then click the link
• Disabled to the right. The NIC Teaming dialog box
  opens.
• In Adapters and Interfaces, select the network
  adapters that you want to add to a NIC Team.
• Click TASKS, and then click Add to New Team.

• The New team dialog box opens and displays
  network adapters and team
• members. In Team name, type a name for the new
  NIC Team.

Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ)

• The Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) is a hardware
  virtualization technology for the efficient
  transfer of network traffic (such as TCP/IP,
  iSCSI or FCoE) to a virtualized OS (Virtual
  Machine).
• VMQ technology was patented in 2010 by Daniel
  Baumberger of Intel Corp
• A VMQ capable NIC can use Direct Memory Access to
  transfer all incoming frames routed directly to
  a receive queue of a Virtual Machine via its MAC
  Address.
• In VMQ different processors can process packets
  for different virtual machines. This eliminates
  the dependence on driver-based traffic exchanges
  and improves the transfer of network traffic.
• VMQ can be enabled on Windows Server 2008 R2 or
  lster as long as the Hyper-V server role is
  installed.

28

• The major benefit of VMQ is when it comes time
  for the vSwitch to do the routing of the
  packets. When incoming packets are indicated from
  a queue on the NIC that has a VMQ enabled, the
  vSwitch is able to direct the hardware link to
  forward the packet to the right VM extremely
  fast. This reduces the CPU cost of the routing
  functionality and causes a measurable decrease in
  latency.
• VMQ is the mechanism used to spread networking
  traffic to multiple cores. Without VMQ, all of
  the networking traffic is done on a single core
  so the overall throughput is capped at 3.5Gbps
  on a 10Gbps network.
• Two key PowerShell cmdlets for VMQ configuration
  are Get-NetAdapterVMQ and
• Set-NetAdapterVMQ.
• To determine if your adapter is capable of
  performing VMQ, run Get- NetAdapterVMQ. This
  will list all the adapters on your system that
  are capable of doing VMQ

www.netcomlearning.com info_at_netcomlearning.com

29

• If your adapter has VMQ enabled, to find out what
  queues are assigned on the NIC, use the
  PowerShell cmdlet, Get-NetAdapterVmqQueue

VMQ Summary

• VMQs purpose is to load-balance network resources
  across VMs and NICs
• To increase the effective capability of a
  servers physical hardware,
• specifically the NIC and Processor
