When you install Workstation Pro on a Windows or Linux host system, a bridged network (VMnet0) is set up for you. If you install Workstation Pro on a host system that has multiple network adapters, you can configure multiple bridged networks.
For example, if the host system has two network adapters connected to two different networks, you might want virtual machines on the host system to bridge to both network adapters so that they can access either or both physical networks.
Prerequisites
Verify that a network adapter is available on the host system to bridge to. If VMnet0 is bridging to all of the available host network adapters (the default setting), you can modify it to make an adapter available. See Change VMnet0 Bridged Networking Settings.
On a Windows host, log in as an Administrator user. Only an Administrator user can change network settings in the virtual network editor.
On a Linux host, log in as root. You must enter the root password to access the virtual network editor.
