Help understanding SCVMM 2012 networking

$

My background is in Hyper-V Manager and I have been using it to create virtual switches (External, Internal, Private) and then connect VMs to them.  This is simple for me and easy to wrap my head around.

Now, I am playing with SCVMM 2012 and I am confused about the networking presented here.

I don't understand the difference between creating logical networks, creating VM networks, logical switches, virtual switches, being asked about uplinks, ports and IP-pools.  

When I added my Hyper-V hosts to the SCVMM, it recognized an external switch I created and placed it under Fabrics - Logical Networks.  I just want to be able to mimic the functionality of having a virtual switch so do I create a logical network or a logical switch or what? 

I am just confused with this new terminology and technology and if anyone could help me out that'd be great.
