VMware virtual machine NIC under Linux cannot run in promiscuous mode solution

Transferred from: http://blog.csdn.net/henulwj/article/details/50347489

• Problem description
  In Linux if you are running VMware workstations as a normal user, you will be prompted following the creation of the virtual machine:

The virtual machine's operating system has attempted to enable promiscuous mode on adapter ' Ethernet0 '. This isn't allowed for security reasons.
Please go to the Web page "http://vmware.com/info?id=161" for help enabling promiscuous mode in the virtual machine.

• Solutions

  1. Create a group, give the group read and write permissions, and then modify/dev/vmnet0 or/dev/vmnet8 to this group

  Groupadd Vmwaregroup
  Usermod-a-G Vmwaregroup Netseclab
  Chgrp vmwaregroup/dev/vmnet0
  Chgrp Vmwaregroup/dev/vmnet8
  chmod g+rw/dev/vmnet0
  chmod g+rw/dev/vmnet8

2. Simple and rough

chmod a+rw/dev/vmnet0
chmod a+rw/dev/vmnet8
