A LAN segment is a private network that is shared by other virtual machines. A LAN segment can be useful for multitier testing, network performance analysis, and situations where virtual machine isolation are important.
Create a LAN Segment for a Virtual Machine You create a LAN segment by configuring virtual machine network settings. When you convert a team that was created in an earlier version of Workstation Pro , the LAN segment configuration is retained for each virtual machine. You do not need to recreate the LAN segment.
Configure a Virtual Machine to Use a LAN Segment You can configure an existing virtual machine to use a LAN segment, and you can change the LAN segment that a virtual machine is currently using.
Delete a LAN Segment Deleting a LAN segment disconnects all virtual network adapters that are configured for that LAN segment. When you delete a LAN segment, you must manually configure its disconnected virtual network adapter to reconnect the virtual machine to a network.
