Virtual Machine NetworkAdapter

Virtual Machine NetworkAdapter differences between the two methods Vmware installed by default, two virtual NICs, VMnet1 and VMnet8, and VMnet0. The configurations of these virtual NICs are automatically generated by the vmwarevm. In general, you do not need to set them by yourself. Vmware provides three network connection modes: 1 and bridged (bridging mode). VMnet0 is used by default, and DHCP service is not provided.
In the bridge mode, the virtual machine is in the same status as the host computer, and the virtual machine exists in the LAN just like a real host. Therefore, in the bridge mode, we need to configure IP addresses, gateways, and subnet masks for other real computers. When we can freely allocate a lan ip address, we can use the bridge mode to virtualize a real host. 2. NAT (network address translation mode): by default, VMnet8 is used to provide the DHCP service www.2cto.com.
In NAT mode, the host computer is equivalent to a vrodhcp with DHCP enabled, and the virtual machine is a real host in the Intranet. The network parameters are dynamically obtained through dhcp on the vro (host computer. Therefore, in NAT mode, virtual machines can access the external network, but not vice versa, because the virtual machines belong to the Intranet. The convenience of using the NAT mode is that we do not need to make any network settings, as long as the host computer can connect to the external network, the virtual machine can also. NAT mode is usually the most commonly used connection mode of Vmware on the university campus network, because we generally have only one external IP address. Obviously, the NAT mode is very suitable in this case. 3. Host-only (Host mode): VMnet1 is used by default to provide the DHCP service.
In Host-only mode, a virtual machine is directly connected to the Host computer through twisted pair wires, but the Host computer does not provide any routing service. Therefore, in Host-only mode, the virtual machine can access each other with the Host computer, but the virtual machine cannot access the external network. When we want to form a virtual network isolated from the physical network, it is undoubtedly very suitable for the Host-only mode. Author lzhw1985
