Rename a Virtual Network

With Workstation Pro on a Windows host system, you can rename a network you previously added to a name that is meaningful to you.

You cannot change the name of a network in the following situations.

• On a Linux host
• On a network Workstation Pro created automatically, such as VMnet0. VMnet1, or VMnet8.
• On a shared or remote virtual machine.

2. Select an added network.
   The network must be one you added, not VMnet0. VMnet1, or VMnet8.
3. Click Rename Network.
4. Enter a new name and click OK.

Results

The network is renamed.
