Bridge Mode
In bridge mode, VMWare virtual operating system out like a LAN a separate host (hosts and virtual machines in other places on the
site), it can access any machine within the network. In bridge mode, we often need to configure for the virtual host IP address, subnet mask, etc. (Note
intended to virtual hosts and host ip address to the ip address in the same network segment).
The relationship between virtual and host systems using the bridge mode, just as two computers connected to a hub; let them communication system is required for the virtual
system configuration ip address and subnet mask. If we need to create a virtual server in the LAN and provides services for LAN users to choose it
choose bridge mode.
But I want to test various network friends this model is not suitable, because you can not control the network virtual machine, directly out
of.
NAT mode
NAT, Network Address Translation is an acronym, which means the network address translation. Use NAT mode virtual system to a physical host as a way
to access the Internet by the device, NAT mode is the default network connection mode VMware to create virtual machines. When network connections using NAT mode, the VMware
will create a separate private network on the host to communicate with each other between the host and the virtual machine. Requesting virtual machine data transmitted to the external network ' packet
wrapped ' , are handled by the network adapter plus NAT ' special tag ' and forwarded on behalf of the host, the external network returns response data ' package ' , also
first by the receiving host, the network adapter then referred NAT ' special tag ' identification and forwarded to the corresponding virtual machine, therefore, outside the virtual machine
need not have its own IP address in the network. From the external network point of view, the virtual machine and the host in a shared IP address, by default, the external network terminal
can not access the virtual machine. Furthermore, on a host NAT mode allows only one virtual network. Thus, a plurality of hosts using the same
virtual machine NAT mode is also accessible network connection to each other.
Host mode
Host mode, the real and virtual environments are isolated; in this mode, all virtual systems can communicate with each other, but the virtual system
and the actual network is isolated.
In host mode, the physical unit can not establish communication with Virtual Machine! Can only communicate with each other between a virtual machine and a virtual machine!
