Abstract
A resource configuration method of a virtual machine and a communications device. When an actual requirement of the virtual machine for the network resource is dynamically changed, the communications device may dynamically configure a communication manner corresponding to the virtual machine such that a virtual machine with a relatively low requirement for the network resource may use the manner of sharing the physical network interface card, and a virtual machine with a relatively high requirement for the network resource may use the pass-through manner, which does not cause a situation in which network resources of some virtual machines are wasted and network resources of some virtual machines are insufficient. As a result, network resources of virtual machines are properly allocated.
