Main

Step by step installation and documentation for Windows (lots of screen shots).

Goal: Adding a Windows test client to the myLVS environment

Requirements

Windows Server 2012 (using your own license key)
IIS installed
Computer name used: myLVS-Win-Client
IP Address: 192.168.2.221
Loopback IP Address: 192.168.2.220

Windows Setup in myLVS overview

Add a new loop back device

Click on Run

Enter mmc devmgmt.msc to open
the Device Manager

Right mouse click on your computer,
select Add legacy hardware

Confirm

Select the advanced option

Select Network adapters

Select Microsoft
Select Microsoft KM-Test

Confirm

Confirm again

Configure the new loop back device

Within Windows, goto the Network connections, with Server 2012 you can run and type ncpa.ctl

Rename the loopback adapter to loopback,
Rename the ethernet adapter to lan

Edit the properties of IPv4 of the loopback adapter

Enter the VIP (Virtual IP) = 192.168.2.220/24,
click Advanced

Disable Automatic metric,
make the adapter aware of the ARP issue
Enter a high byte number, like 254, click OK

Open an administrative console and enter:

netsh interface ipv4 set interface "lan" weakhostreceive=enabled
netsh interface ipv4 set interface "loopback" weakhostreceive=enabled
netsh interface ipv4 set interface "loopback" weakhostsend=enabled

See this for more information about those commands:

Testing the new loop back device

From the Windows host try to open the URL

From an Network client try to open the URL

http://192.168.2.221

The result should be the default IIS Webpage

Goto myLVS and enable the Windows host and

see the connection list:
