Several ways that virtual machines Configure network connectivity after installing Server2008 in VMware

There are three types of network connections for VMware virtual machines: Bridge mode, Nat mode, host only

(1) Bridging mode

Bridging mode is a virtual piece of network card in the virtual machine, so that the host and virtual machine are considered to be two separate IP addresses in a network segment. Hosts and virtual machines can connect to each other while virtual machines can also access the Internet, typically if the configuration server is in bridged mode.

(2) Nat mode

Nat mode, the virtual machine and the host share an IP address, the host and the virtual machine can be connected to the Internet, but in the host network segment, the other real host is unable to access the virtual machine, NAT is the VM installed the new virtual machine default network connection mode, general simple Internet do not want to do complex configuration, can use NAT mode.

(3) host only master mode

In the host-only mode, the virtual machine can only access the real host and other virtual machines under the real host, that is, in the real host "private network segment" Access, do intranet LAN testing, you can use this mode.

1. Edit virtual network configuration for VMS

Open the Virtual Network editor to open the edit with administrator privileges first

2. In bridging mode, select which network card to bridge the networks to the real host

VMnet0 default is Bridge mode

3.vmnet1 default is host only mode

4.vmnet8 default is NAT mode (network address translation)

5. In the lower right corner of the VM, you can manage the network connection status of the current virtual machine

6. Configure the IP address in the virtual machine (the test environment in Figure win Server 2008, the bridge mode, so that the virtual machine's IP address and the real host in the same network segment)
