Configure the Cisco switch port with the allowed vlans. In my example I installed the Hyper-V box in the default 1 vlan and I have separated vlan 2200 for my lab environment.

Login into the Cisco Switch, go into privileged mode and open the configuration terminal. Enter or paste the configuration below.

interface GigabitEthernet0/1
description ** Uplink to Hyper-V windows box **
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2200
switchport mode trunk

In the Virtualization Management console I configured and installed new guest partition with Windows Server 2003. There seems to be an issue with the current vm additions and my setup so the nic controller is not working. I removed current nic controller and added legacy network adapter.

In the legacy network adapter, check enable virtual LAN identification and enter the VLAN ID. Click ok or Apply the configuration.

This is really cool feature now integrated with Hyper-V. ESX supported VLAN’s for while and Microsoft is catching up now in the upcoming release of their hyper visor product.
