br0 bridge Shared
vnic1 vnic Host-Only 10.37.131.2/24
vnic0 vnic Shared 10.37.130.2/24
vnic2 vnic vznetwork1 10.37.132.2/24
The bridges existing on the Parallels server are listed in the Name column and can be easily
identified by the br prefix. For example, you can see that the br3 bridge is currently associated
with the vznetwork1 Virtual Network.
Configuring Virtual Network Parameters
Parallels Server Bare Metal allows you to configure the following parameters for a Virtual
Network:
 the name assigned to the Virtual Network
 the networking mode in which the Virtual Network is operating
 the description of the Virtual Network
All these operations can be performed using the prlsrvctl utility. Let us assume that you
want to configure the vznetwork1 Virtual Network. This Virtual Network is currently
configured as a host-only network, attached to the vnic2 adapter, and has the following
description: This is a host-only Virtual Network. To change these parameters,
you can execute the following command:
# prlsrvctl net set vznetwork1 -n psbm_network1 -t bridged --ifname eth1 -d
"This is a bridged Virtual Network"
This command sets the following parameters for the vznetwork1 Virtual Network:
 Changes the Virtual Network name to psbm_network1.
 Changes the Virtual Network type to bridged. To do this, prlsrvctl detaches the Virtual
Network from the vnic2 adapter and connects it to the eth1 physical adapter on the
Parallels server.
 Changes the Virtual Network description to the following: This is a bridged
Virtual Network. You can view this description in Parallels Management Console.
For more information on the prlsrvctl utility, refer to the Parallels Command Line
Reference Guide.
