Vmware Nic settings (linux virtual machine)

Article title: vmware Nic settings (linux virtual machine ). Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

(1) Bridged mode

In this way, the IP address of the virtual system can be set to the same network segment as the local system. the virtual system is equivalent to one in the network. an independent machine is inserted in a Hub together with the local machine. other machines in the network can access the virtual system, and the virtual system can also access other machines in the network, of course, it is not a problem with the two-way access of the local system.

(2) NAT

This method can also achieve two-way access between the local system and the virtual system. however, other machines in the network cannot access the virtual system. the virtual system can use the NAT protocol to access other machines in the network. nat ip address configuration method: the virtual system uses DHCP to automatically obtain the IP address. VMware services in the local system will assign an IP address to the virtual system. if you want to use a fixed IP address at each start, set this IP address directly in the virtual system.

(3) host-only mode

As the name suggests, this method only supports network communication between virtual machines and hosts. other machines in the network cannot access the virtual system or other machines.

(4) not use method

The virtual system is a single machine.

In general, the Bridged method is the most convenient and easy to use. however, if the local system is win2000 and the network cable is not plugged in (or there is no Nic at all), the network is likely to be unavailable (most of the machines with pci nic ), in this case, you can only use the NAT mode or host-only. the two virtual NICs mentioned previously are prepared to adapt to the two network types.
