• Network/DNS/DHCP issues with testlab - virtual network Editor is killing me!

  Hey all - a little new with workstation and have been messing around trying to get this to work for so long, I want to just set up my lab already but can't find the catch here.

  So, here is what I tried to do:

  Have a hand of Windows Server 2008 R2 (Controller/DHCP/DNS/Active Directory domain / IIS) addresses/leases DHCP of an internal network (which means, I want some Windows 7 Ultimate customers to assign IPs to the DC and NOT of VMWare offers integrated DHCP). I want clients to be able to use only one NIC (preferably) and both authenticate to AD and connect to the Internet (so I think I'll pass on DNS to resolve external domains?). I'm having a pretty hard time trying to understand what...

  My physical network is an active router Linksys with DHCP, so them to assign an IP address to the PC that I'm looking for this laboratory-perhaps it is a problem as well and must also be configured or have my VMNet reflecting?

  I tried to use NAT, a bridge connection, etc... and even then, when I got my DC with an active internet connection, how would I configure my clients (Win7 devices) to join the network even on my domain controller is? I tried some configurations in these forums as well, but none seems to for what I'm trying (which seems very simple!). Can anyone offer some advice? I am not opposed to the fresh start. Thanks for taking a peek.

  Here is an example of configuration when all the virtual machines are configured for NAT.

  Virtual network Editor:

  DHCP disabled for NAT

  For an example, I assume that the NAT subnet in 192.168. 100. x. You can change this if you wish.

  DC:

  IP address: 192.168.100.10

  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  Gateway: 192.168.100.2

  DNS server: 127.0.0.1

  Configuration of the DHCP server:

  Range: 192.168.100.150... 200

  Subnet: 255.255.255.0

  Gateway: 192.168.100.2

  DNS server: 192.168.100.10

  The DNS server configuration:

  DNS forwarding to: 192.168.100.2 (for other than the own domain URLS)

  Other servers or systems with static IP settings:

  IP address: 192.168.100.11... 149

  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  Gateway: 192.168.100.2

  DNS server: 192.168.100.10

  Customer:

  Networking will be set to automatic.

  In this way, the domain controller will be the only DHCP and DNS server, but each virtual computer will be able to access directly to the Internet. And because the domain controller is the primary DNS, your ad cannot function properly.

• Issue of V-Switch virtual network, possible configuration of VLAN

  A screenshot of doc word of my virtual network is attached. I'm trying to get my external labeled Virtual Switch (vSwitch2) talk to the VM (vSwitch0) network switch. My goal here is to be able to connect a physical PC into the switch labeled vmnic1 external physical and be able to convert a virtual PC VM via a cross over cable. I don't know that it would be in the same subnet as the network of VM vmic0. Do I have to install some kind of vlan etc... The physical box with XP on it can perhaps start with DHCP and enter an IP address on the same subnet bridged somehow of the external vmnic1 in the VM Network vmnic0. What is the easiest more quick to make this work? Please see the attachment.  Thanks in advance for your help

• Issue of duplicate virtual networks

  In ESX server, I can create many virtual networks that are on the same subnet on the same host? I have a 'service' that requires four virtual servers, work together and each group of four servers is assigned to a specific customer. At the moment I create unique and re-IPing networks servers for each new deployment for every new customer and I wish I could just build a complete environment that works and then them themselves in groups as needed for new customers.

  It's hard to describe, but here's a basic example of what I'm trying to do:

  Server 1 - 192.168.1.1 - connected to the virtual network 2

  Server 2 - 192.168.1.2 - connected to the virtual network 2

  Server 3 - 192.168.1.3 - connected to the virtual network 2

  Server 4 - 192.168.1.4 - connected to the virtual network 2, packed to the physical NETWORK (network 1) card with a unique IP address

  Server 1 - 192.168.1.1 - connected to the virtual network 3

  Server 2 - 192.168.1.2 - connected to the virtual network 3

  Server 3 - 192.168.1.3 - connected to the virtual network 3

  Server 4 - 192.168.1.4 - connected to the virtual network 3, packed to the physical NETWORK (network 1) card with a unique IP address

  Server 1 - 192.168.1.1 - connected to the virtual network 4

  Server 2 - 192.168.1.2 - connected to the virtual network 4

  Server 3 - 192.168.1.3 - connected to the virtual network 4

  Server 4 - 192.168.1.4 - connected to the virtual network 4, filled to the physical NETWORK (network 1) card with a unique IP address

  Nope ESXi will not worry. I did it for the test on a smaller scale environments. I guess your IP Managment is on a separate network.

• Not available in the configuration of the adapter VMNet8 virtual network

  Hi all

  I have HAD the following config:

  Virtual Server 2 on a machine with a physical NIC XP

  Two comments machines two Ent W2K3 running.

  IP address 192.168.1.1 and 2.1 default gateway of 192.168.1.5

  Both machines network cards configured to use VMNET8. VMNET 8 configured through the virtual network with IP 192.168.1.5 Editor

  The virtual card configured VMNET8 with 192.168.1.5 address in the host network configuration and the default gateway set as 192.168.0.254, that is the address of the gateway for my network home.

  With this config, I have had my two virtual on the same network and "Native" computers to the internet via my home network.

  Problem now is that somehow my journey becomes stripped on the host. The NIC VMNET8 achieved somehow a metric is lower than the physical host adapter. No problem when accessing the net from virtual methods, but when you try to access the net from the host machine, it attempts to route the internet traffic on the virtual interface on VMNET8 and of course fails.

  In addition, the possibility to connect the virtual machines to VMNET8 is not an option in NIC on each virtual machine settings more. I only have NAT, connected by a bridge and host-only.

  I spent some time on the issue without success so I uninstalled VMware and removed two virtual machines. After you have reinstalled, I am always presented with the same two questions.

  Does anyone have an suggestions?

  Kind regards

  Hamish.

  Welcome to the forums!

  I would say to keep the values by default as long as you have a good reason to change.

  Configure:

  I guess 192.168.1.0/24 is your address for VMnet8 network!

  The adapter VMnet8 host to:

  no gateway 192.168.1.1 by default, it is not necessary here.

  Comments:

  Either DHCP (served by the DHCP of VMware Server) or fixed IP 192.168.1. < starting="" with="" 10=""> , DNS, default gateway: 192.168.1.2
  If you use the VMware DHCP server control if 192.168.1.0/24 is configured as network VMnet8 address.

  Do not connect to the vNIC to VMnet8, choose 'NAT', which is VMnet8.

• How to monitor the TX and RX on PERFORMANCE for virtual network adapter BASP monitor?

  How to monitor the TX and RX on PERFORMANCE for virtual network adapter BASP monitor?

  I have a virtual network adapter that is created with Broadcom.

  This virtual interface named "BASP eCard" visible on the performance monitor in the category 'Rhythm Pipe' but not in the category "Network Interface".

  This is problematic because the Tx and Rx (bytes received/send in second) is available in "Network Interface" that show physical network cards only.

  Someone has an idea?

  Thank you

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

• Ea6400: virtual network

  Once more a question and then I think my router is perfect

  I have some IP cameras on my WiFi network.

  When I want to see them out I had to do a virtual network on my old router.

  When I go to Conectifity > Advanced routing

  I see that NAT and RIP

  Static routing is not the same as in the old router.

  But how I do on this one?

  Thanks for the thought.

  Hi taxikemperman. I agree with what proposes FurryNutz. You need to forward ports to access the cameras remotely. You can also register for any server domain so that you can easily access the camera outside your network. I would also say that you set a static IP address on each of the wireless camera, so you can correctly determine which cameras, you are trying to access.

  Reason of trying to define virtual network of specific subnet configuration is the 'device type' I use the use of this subnet a bit hardcoded. A little bit because it's very complex to change, due to the nature of software inside.

  Welcome to the community,

  In some cases UAC or virusscan/firewall application can block the change. As a first step, start the virtual network in the menu editor start by clicking on the link and select 'Run as Administrator' to see if that solves the problem.

• Manage virtual networks in vmware player on Linux Mint

  Hi all

  Can someone point out how manage virtual networks on the Vmware player on Ubuntu/Linux mint?

  It would have been more useful if you had included the VMware Player version and the version of the host operating system that you are using!

  Since you didn't say what version of VMware Player or a version of the host OS, I can only say what follows if applies to what I the test and this is VMware Player 5.0.2 under Ubuntu 13.04.

  In a Terminal, run the following command (Tip: copy / paste, as is, to avoid typos.):

  sudo ln-s/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg/usr/bin/vmware-netcfg

  Now to bring up the virtual network editor use the following command in a Terminal:

  sudo vmware-netcfg

  Note that you can get an error message similar to the following:

  (vmware-netcfg: #): IBUS-WARNING *: the owner of /home/$USER/.config/ibus/bus is not root! »

  This seems to be a bug , but I do not think that this will affect the actual use of the virtual network Editor.

• Establishment of a virtual network

  Hi all

  Sorry if this question is asked a million times, but as a beginner to ESXi, I'm having some trouble to configure my virtual network. The pointers in the right direction or links to the guides of initiation would be accepted with gratitude.

  Basically, at the moment, I have Win 2 K 8 R2 x 64 and Win 7 x 64 VMs put in place on my server ESXi. The 2 k 8 is a domain on my existing external domain controller. It is also a DHCP and DNS server (I'm going to RRAS later). It has 2 vNIC. The first card (wan) receives an ip address on my broadband router and is therefore very well (I'll deal with public IP addresses later). The second is the interface lan / vlan and is configured with a static IP, 192.168.20.5, which is the address of the dns server and the subnet ip (192.168.20.x) served by DHCP. Ideally, I would like to connect to a physical NETWORK card for the internal network physical, but also a virtual internal network that vms in the same domain can connect to.

  The vm Win7 has a vNIC and does not have an address at the present time. It is configured on VM2, as is the internal vNIC to the domain controller.

  At a later date, I also intend to add a second domain separate and DC with the same configuration (we run two businesses from the same site). There may be any connection between the two. The physical aspect is pretty straighforward. It would simply be a matter of physical extra network adapters and duplicate the configuration for the first area?

  I hope this makes sense.

  Thanks in advance.

  Graeme

  The second network has no network management...

  Network management is used to manage host ESXi itself and has nothing to do with the Virtual Machine networks, so there is no need to install a network of management on each vSwitch.

  ... and I don't have internet on the virtual machine windows 7.

  How could you, without uplink. It is basically the same as for a physical network. If a PC is connected to a switch, and there is no connection to the Internet (for example, a router), you will have the chance to work online.

  It will appear and I could binds to Network 2 VM when it is connected so that the server can serve both physical customers?

  Yes, it should work.

  I need bridging the connections in some way to allow the customer to win 7 access internet connection of the VM network 1.

  What is the purpose of separate areas if you want now fill the networks? What you can do is use a firewall (for example, pfSense), configure a separate vSwitch for each domain (without uplinks) and configure the firewall to connect to each vSwitch 'domain' as well as with the uplink to allow Internet traffic to the different areas but block direct traffic between them.

• virtual network card to the physical network mapping and default loadbalancing

  What Virtual Machine virtual network card is map physical NIC.

  For example.

  lets assume Vswitch1 on host1 esx dedicated for the network of the virtual machine (port group) and it has 6 cards network linked to it (vmnic1, vmnic2, vmnic0, vmnic3)

  Load policy (default) Balancing - from the originating virtual port (it balances only outbound traffic through all the nic assigned to vswitch1 right?)

  ESXi host1 <-Vswitch1 (the VM network) <---(vmnic 0-vmnic 3)

  Lets assume that esxi hosting 6 virtual machines and each virtual machine has two network cards configured.  Through some documents, come out of that when the virtual machine is running, it gets connected to the ports of availabe on virtual swicth. say, I turn on the virtual machine in the order VM1, VM2... VM6.

  Vmname virtual adapter port on virtual switch1 Mapping of the physical network adapter                        

  VM1 eth0, eth1 1.2 which mappeed of the physical NIC to eth0, eth1?

  VM2            eth0,eth1                              3,4                                      ?

  VM3            eth0,eth1                              5,6                                      ?

  VM4            eth0,eth1                              7,8                                      ?

  VM5            eth0,eth1                              9,10                                    ?

  VM6            eth0,eth1                              11,12                                  ?

  Since we use load balancing based on the virtual port, can two virtual map of the same virtual machine are mapped to the two physical NETWORK card I want say eth0 VM1 is mapped to the (physical nic) VMNIC0, VM1 eth1 get connected VMNIC1 (physical nic).

  It would be great if you could explain how the virtual network adapters are mapped to the physical NIC Y at - it a command or a script to the list NIC(of all vms hosted on esxi) virtual NETWORK adapter mappings physical in detail.

  Is there a way to know what virtual NIC to connect to which physical NIC

  With the virtual NETWORK adapter, you hear the virtual card inside the VM? If if and when you use several VMNIC like you, there is no visibility in vCenter (usually vSwitches, we see with Distributed vSwitches).

  However, you can use the command-line ESXTOP tool in the view 'n', for the connection between the virtual machines and the outgoing vmnic.

  VMWare says:

  Ethernet0 cannot connect to virtual network ' / dev/vmnet8.

  More information can be found in the vmware.log file.
  Unable to connect the virtual device Ethernet0.

  XP says:

  Limited or no connectivity: you will not be able to access the internet or a network resource.  This problem occurred because the network has not assigned a network address for the computer.

  I tried the repair feature that says:

  Windows is taking the following steps: renewing your IP address.

  Results: Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be validated: renewing your IP address.  Contact the person who manages your network.

  I changed nothing in my development in addition to be adjusted for the update.  This has been the only change

  Please please help.  This made my trade to stop.  I am very grateful for any help I can get!

  Shutdown, not, suspend the Virtual Machine and then restart the Mac and then run the Virtual Machine again.

  The Virtual Machine has network connectivity now?

  Otherwise I would like to uninstall VMware Fusion 3.1.3 and then install VMware Fusion 3.1.2 as there has been some reports of lost connectivity network with VMware Fusion 3.1.3 which where not able to solve and to revert to the previous version has allowed users to continue working.

• How to get Ip address of virtual network

  Dear all,

  I created 4 network virtual cards with 4 Ips different, now I required which network card has which Ip mapped separately.

  My requirement is I nedd to add diiferent group port for each addpater of network based on the IP address that I sent in the cloneing of virtual machine model.

  I don't have the control to pass the NIC in particular all by cloneing Ip.

  I wanted to get a list of the network adapter with Ip attached to my vm.

  Is it possible to add a virtual network adapter with Ip specific.

  Please help me.

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes it is possible, that you need to browse the vNIC which was added to a given virtual machine and extract the necessary bits of information. To get the IP address, you should make sure the virtual machine is running VMware Tools, otherwise you won't be able to extract this information.

  You can extract the IP info + the portgroup taking a glance to the guestInfo property that is flush with only if you have the VMware Tools running: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/vim.vm.GuestInfo.html

  If you have VMware Tools running, but that you want to display the vNIC, then you can take a look at the dashboard device for virtual hardware for the virtual machine and extract only the devices of type VirtualEthernetCard - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/vim.vm.VirtualHardware.html

  Here are a few vSphere SDK for Perl examples you can use to generate a script to extract what you need:

• How to set a specific MAC address for a virtual NETWORK adapter in ESXi 4.1?

  I would like to move a virtual machine to another server ESXi, but I saw every time I use the converter, it changes the MAC of the virtual network interface! Also if I copy the virtual machine to a vmware 2.0 server the same thing happens. Is it possible to keep the same address in another computer and turn off the virtual machine from the first computer source to avoid conflicts of mac?

  Thank you.

  Using the converter, you'll always end up with a different MAC address. If you just want to "pass" the virtual machine, you can use utilities like of Veeam FastSCP.

  Another option is to set up a MAC address in the network settings of the virtual machine. After conversion, you can reset the MAC address to the value of "old."

  For some hosted VMware products (such as Workstation and Server maybe player) there's a vmx ethernetX.checkMACAddress = "FALSE" setting that allows you to set any MAC address you want to. For more information, see http://sanbarrow.com/vmx/vmx-network-advanced.html.
