I have a Windows 10 machine which I use with Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 and Hyper-V.
The installation of Hyper-V is new and after enabling it my "network connections" looks like this:
When I run ipconfig
I can see:
Ethernet adapter vEthernet (New Virtual Switch):
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : attlocal.net
Is my first and main ethernet adapter. My actual main adapter, the one called "Ethernet" does not even show up on the list.
Questions:
- What are these vEthernet Switches?
- Why is my computer not using the native Ethernet switch anymore?
- Are there performance implications do this?
- What are the various 172.x.x.x IP addresses assigned to the other Virtual switches?
- How does this affect local (127.0.0.1) loopback addressing?
Update
When I run ipconfig /all
I still see all of the vEthernet switches but I do not see what used to be my default interface the one just called "Ethernet", listed.
Am I using it?
What is going on?
