Main

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

  • Goal: Adding a Windows test client to our myLVS environment
  • 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

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 to loopback adapter to loopback, rename the ethernet adapter to lan

Edit the properties of IPv4 on 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 number, like 254, click OK



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 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

The result should be the default IIS Webpage



Goto myLVS and enable the Windows host and disable the second host which does not exist yet


Use an network client and open the URL http://192.168.2.220, you should see the Windows IIS test site
On myLVS clieck Connections to see the connection list:
