Creating Custom Networks
With Fusion Pro, you can change key networking settings, add and remove virtual custom
networks, create custom virtual networking configurations, and require the virtual machine to
prompt for confirmation before allowing the network adapter to run in promiscuous mode. The
changes that you make affect all virtual machines that connect to the custom network running on
the host system.
You can create custom networks to accomplish the following tasks:
n Add additional NAT configurations for scenarios in which a virtual machine shares the IP
address and MAC address of your Mac.
n Add additional private virtual networks to enable communication between virtual machines
and the host system.
For either type of custom network, you can specify which subnet is used by Fusion and whether to
connect a physical network on the host system to the custom network.
Note While editing a custom network, do not change the MTU, Subnet IP, Subnet Mask,
Enable IPv6 and the IPv6 prefix values in the Advanced Network settings page when the VMs
are connected to the corresponding subnets. Disconnect the VMs before changing and applying
the settings, and then reconnect the VMs.
Add a NAT Configuration
With Fusion Pro, you can add additional NAT configurations for scenarios in which a virtual
machine shares the IP address and MAC address of your Mac.
By default, Fusion provides one Share with my Mac configuration that uses NAT. You can add
additional NAT configurations to perform actions such as turning off the DHCP service or using a
non-default subnet IP or subnet mask.
Prerequisites
n Verify that you have a Fusion Pro license.
