5. To designate a physical Ethernet adapter to be used for bridged networking on
virtual switches named VMnet2–VMnet7, click the Host Virtual Network
Mapping tab.
Choose an adapter from the drop-down list beside the name of the virtual
switch you want to use.
If you are using teamed network adapters on your host, you can choose the
teamed NIC for VMnet0.
Caution: Be careful when you change the bridged adapter mappings. If you re-
assign a physical Ethernet adapter to a different virtual network, any virtual
machine using the original network loses its network connectivity via that
network. You must then change the setting for each affected virtual machine’s
network adapter individually. This can be especially troublesome if your host has
only one physical Ethernet adapter and you reassign it to a VMnet other than
VMnet0; even though the VMnet still appears to be bridged to an automatically
chosen adapter, the only adapter it can use has been assigned to another VMnet.
