VMware three online Models

Today, a virtual machine, on the way to the Internet to learn again, before fiddling, and now picked up, the main self-collation, the aspects of the back review. There are three main network models: Bridge, host only (host-only), NAT. Self-Test These three ways, all can surf the internet.

Description

Configuration: Win7 64-bit +vmware10.0+ubuntu14.04.

Network model: VMNET0 is a virtual switch used by VMware for virtual bridging networks;

VMnet1 is a virtual switch used by VMware for virtual host-only networks;

The VMNET8 is a virtual switch used by VMware for virtual NAT networks.

There are two adapters in it: VMware network Adapter VMnet1 (VM1): This is the virtual NIC that host uses to communicate with host-only virtual network;
VMware Network Adapter VMnet8 (VM8): This is the virtual NIC that host uses to communicate with the NAT virtual network;

Bridging mode and Internet: Bridging mode is similar to a two-layer switching hub, the virtual network card and physical network card directly connected to the hub (Virtual Bridge VMnet0), as long as the configuration in the same network segment, the two can communicate, you can open DHCP, and the host to obtain the same network segment IP, testing can be connected and Internet.

Host-only mode and Internet: This mode is a mechanism for virtual machines and hosts to communicate, configure the same network segment can communicate, VMware1 become a virtual switch in this mode. However, you can configure a network segment for the VM1 adapter, let the virtual machine itself assigned an IP, in the host network settings, sharing to this network, the network can be online, pro-test can.

Nat mode and Internet access: This is the default way to wmware the Internet. The VM8 is connected to the VMware8 Virtual Switch, and the physical card is also connected to this virtual switch, but there is a NAT feature that maps the inside and outside of the network, such as: VM8, which maps to the physical actual Internet. Virtual machines and hosts can exchange visits, virtual machines and can surf the internet, pro-test. What role does the VMware network Adapter VMnet8 virtual network card play here? It is only for the host and NAT virtual network to provide an interface for customer communication, so, even if the disable off the virtual NIC, the customer virtual machine is still able to surf the internet, but the host can no longer access the VMNET8 network segment only.

Write more concise, the main online a lot of more detailed introduction, in this share, do not understand can leave information, mutual encouragement!
