Question

Maximum number of nics can be associated with the Azure VM ________________

Answer 1

Hi,

I'm wondering what the maximum number of NICs that can be can assigned to a VM in Hyper-V 3 (Server 2012)?

I know VMware ESXi's current limit is 10 and Xen is 7, but does Hyper-V also have a limit?

Answer 2

Answer:

Depends on the VM size

Explanation: Virtual machines (VMs) in Azure can have multiple virtual network interface cards (NICs) attached to them. A common scenario is to have different subnets for front-end and back-end connectivity. You can associate multiple NICs on a VM to multiple subnets, but those subnets must all reside in the same virtual network (vNet). This article details how to create a VM that has multiple NICs attached to it. You also learn how to add or remove NICs from an existing VM. Different VM sizes support a varying number of NICs, so size your VM accordingly.
