Virtual machines support certain Ethernet switches and networking protocols.

• Up to 10 virtual Ethernet switches are supported on Windows host operating systems. Up to 255 virtual Ethernet switches are supported on Linux host operating systems.
• Three switches are configured by default for bridged, host-only, and NAT networking.
• Most Ethernet-based protocols are supported, including TCP/IP, NetBEUI, Microsoft Networking, Samba, Novell NetWare, and Network File System (NFS).
• Built-in NAT networking supports client software that uses TCP/IP, FTP, DNS, HTTP, and Telnet. VPN is supported for PPTP over NAT.
