Windows Server Virtual Interface with a configured VLAN with a custom MAC

23 Dec 2019

I’m not a Windows server kinda guy, but do you think I could find a nice, easy to follow, walk-through on how to create a Windows Server Virtual Interface on a given VLAN and using a custom MAC?

No, no I couldn’t. Perhaps I wasn’t searching with the correct search terms. Perhaps this is assumed knowledged on a Windows Server. I don’t know.

Here is how I ended up solving my problem.

The problem

We have a Windows Server. It’s going to be our internal, non-production, database server. But, it’s going to host multiple databases for multiple environments (dev, sit, uat, etc, etc). We split and protect each of our environments using VLAN’s.

The requirements

  • The server needs to have multiple VLAN’s attached to it.
  • The server has 2x 10GB NIC’s.
  • These 2 NIC’s must be configured for automatic failover, to protect us in the event of failure of cable/switch/port/etc. We’ll be using “NIC Teaming” for this.
  • The VLAN Virtual Interfaces need to have their own, individual, MAC. NIC teaming still uses the base, physical/teamed, card’s MAC for the VLAN Virtual Interface(s).

The solution
