My Hyper-V server has a 4 port Broadcom NetXtreme GB NIC. I'm currently using one of the ports dedicated for the host and the other 3 in virtual networks for low utilization VM's (currently 4 VM's)

I've been hesitant to use the port being dedicated to the host, but I may have to use it to help balance network utilization. How important is it for the host to have a dedicated nic?

Also, there are some advanced features for the nic like Virtual Machines Queues that I can enable. What is the best practices for these advanced features?

Thanks.
 
You said low utilization VM's. I am assuming these are not using much bandwidth. In that case I would just create a team with the 3 and leave the 1 for host management.

Does your motherboard have an integrated NIC? If so, you could use that for the management network and use the 4GbE ports in a team.
