VMware virtual Machines Three network mode uses

For a deeper understanding of the three network models of VMware virtual machines, http://www.3lian.com/edu/2012/03-29/24049.htm on-line to check some information, through the understanding of the information, this summary is as follows.

1. Bridged mode

In this mode, the virtual network card and the physical network card with the same IP network segment, can communicate with each other, and be able to browse the external network (provided that the physical network card can browse the external network). It uses the Vmnet 0 network, where the Vmnet 0 network acts as a virtual switch.

2. Host only mode

In this mode, the virtual network card can only communicate with the physical network card, can not browse the external network, so as to ensure the security of the virtual machine. It uses the Vmnet 1 network.

3. Nat Mode

This mode is the simplest, the main reason is not to manually configure the IP address, the default IP address assigned by the virtual machine can be, remember not to change its assigned IP address, otherwise not be able to browse the external network, in the bridge mode you need to configure the IP address.
