Network ID
The name assigned to the Virtual Network.
Type
The networking mode set for the Virtual Network.
Bound To
The adapter on the Parallels server connected to the Virtual
Networks, if any.
Deleting a Virtual Network
At any time, you can remove a Virtual Network that you do not need any more from the
physical server. To do this, you can use both the vznetcfg and prlsrvctl utilities. For
example, you can delete the vznetwork1 Virtual Network by running one of the following
commands:
# vznetcfg net del vznetwork1
or
# prlsrvctl net del vznetwork1
To check that vznetwork1 has been successfully removed, execute one of these commands:
# vznetcfg net list
Network ID Status Master Interface Slave Interfaces
Shared active vnic0
Host-Only active vnic1
Bridged active eth0
or
# prlsrvctl net list
Network ID Type Bound To
Shared shared vnic0
Host-Only host-only vnic1
Bridged bridged eth0
Note: Detailed information on the vznetcfg and prlsrvctl utilities is provided in the
Parallels Command Line Reference Guide and their manual pages.
Managing Adapters in Containers
Parallels Server Bare Metal provides you with ample opportunities of configuring virtual
network adapters inside Containers and including them in different network environments. The
given section starts with the explanation of the two network modes - venet0 and veth - in
which any Container can operate and then shows you the way to perform the following
operations:
 Create new virtual network adapters inside your Containers and delete existing ones.
 Configure the parameters of an existing virtual network adapter (e.g. assign an IP address to
it).
 Join Container virtual network adapters to Virtual Networks, thus, connecting them to
different networks.
All these operations are described in the following subsections in detail.
