VMware ACE Administrator’s Manual
To specify a subnet, enter the starting IP address for the subnet, select Subnet
mask and enter the mask in the corresponding field in dotted quad format.
When the list is complete, click Next.
9. If you specified networks and machines that are allowed, the Network Traffic
panel appears. If you specified networks and machines that are denied, skip to
the next step.
Using this panel, you may set up exceptions to allow certain types of network
traffic that would otherwise be blocked by the rules you set on the Networks
and Machines panel. This is useful, for example, if virtual machine users are
restricted to a particular subnet but the DNS server on your network is not on
that subnet. At this time, you are making these settings for the virtual machine if
it does not qualify for normal access.
• Printer access — Select this option to be sure a Windows virtual machine can
use local and network printers available on the host. Be sure to select this
option if you configure the virtual machine to allow easy printer setup. Easy
printer setup uses network sharing to connect the virtual machine to a printer
configured on the host computer.
• DHCP packets — Select this option if the virtual machine needs to get its IP
address from a DHCP server that is not included in the access list.
• DNS packets — Select this option if the virtual machine needs to resolve IP
addresses using a DNS server that is not included in the access list.
• ICMP packets — Select this option if you need support for the ping
command — for example, to check network connectivity to and from the
virtual machine.
