VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide
Virtual Machine 2 — Connected to the Newly Created Host-Only Interface
1. Create the virtual machine or use an existing virtual machine.
2. Launch a VMware Virtual Machine Console and open the virtual machine.
3. Edit the configuration using the virtual machine settings editor (VM > Settings).
Select NIC, select Custom, then choose VMnet2 (Host-only) (on a Windows
host) or /dev/vmnet2 (on a Linux host) from the drop-down list on the right.
If no network adapter is shown in the list of devices, click Add, then use the Add
Hardware Wizard to add an adapter.
If you plan to run the router software on your host computer, you can skip the next
section.
Virtual Machine 3 — Connected to Both Host-Only Interfaces
If you plan to run the router software on a virtual machine, set up a third virtual
machine for that purpose.
1. Create the virtual machine or use an existing virtual machine.
2. Launch a VMware Virtual Machine Console and open the virtual machine.
3. Edit the configuration using the virtual machine settings editor (VM > Settings).
Select the first network adapter in the list of devices, select Custom, then choose
VMnet1 (Host-only) (on a Windows host) or /dev/vmnet1 (on a Linux host) from
the drop-down list on the right. Select the second network adapter in the list of
devices, then select Custom, choose VMnet 2 (Host-only) (on a Windows host)
or /dev/vmnet2 (on a Linux host) from the drop-down list on the right.
If you need to add one or more network adapters, click Add, then use the Add
Hardware Wizard to add an adapter.
Now you need to configure the networking components on the host and in the
virtual machines. The recommended approach uses static IP addresses for all the
virtual machines.
1. Stop the VMnet DHCP server service.
Windows host: Choose Host > Virtual Network Settings > DHCP and click
Stop service.
Linux host: Stop the vmnet-dhcpd service.
killall -TERM vmnet-dhcpd
2. Install guest operating systems in each of the virtual machines.
