Option | Description |
---|---|
Bridged | The virtual machine is connected to the network by using the network adapter on the host system. The virtual machine has a unique identity on the network, separate from and unrelated to the host system. |
NAT | The virtual machine and the host system share a single network identity that is not visible on the external network. When the virtual machine sends a request to access a network resource, it appears to the network resource as if the request is coming from the host system. |
Host-only | The virtual machine and the host virtual network adapter are connected to a private Ethernet network. The network is completely contained within the host system. |
Custom | Select a custom network from the drop-down menu. Although VMnet0, VMnet1, and VMnet8 might be available in this list, these networks are usually used for bridged, host-only, and NAT networks. |
LAN segment | Select a LAN segment from the drop-down menu. A LAN segment is a private network that is shared by other virtual machines. |
