Configure Static IP Address on Linux VM in VMware Player. If you run VMware Player, you would have 3 networking options for virtual machines running there: Bridged, NAT, Host- Only. In the latest 5. 0. I also found a new one: LAN Segment. IP address, hostname, and gateway of the Service Console in VMware ESX. Therefore I'd like to change the host IP address either on VMWare, or on VirtualBox (whatever is easier, it doesn't. This blog has a nice explanation on these three settings if you want to get more details. In most of cases, I use NAT for networking because the virtual machine can have Internet access which allows me to install additional software as needed. By default, VMware Player uses DHCP to dynamically assign IP address while using NAT. So you cannot guarantee to get same IP address after each rebooting. Bothered by SLOW Web UI to manage v. Sphere? Want to manage ALL your VMware v. Centers, AWS, Azure, Openstack, container behind a SINGLE pane of glass? Want to search, analyze, report, visualize VMs, hosts, networks, datastores, events as easily as Google the Web? On a Debian Linux machine like Ubuntu, you can edit a configuration file: 1. This file describes the network interfaces available on your system# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5)# The loopback network interface. The primary network interface. After saving the file, you would like to restart the network so that the change take effect: 1. In my case, the VMnet. NAT network has an IP address of 1. When I first modified the interfaces file, I used it as the gateway IP address and failed to ping outside the network. To figure it out why, I reversed back to the DHCP configuration (change the ifacce line to “iface eth. In the DHCP mode, typing command “route –n” will show working gateway IP address: 1.
By default, the gateway IP is configured to use X. X. X. 2. This can be changed with Virtual Network Editor which is not included in VMware Player. I will show you how to hack it in next post. Update: for Fodera Linux like Red. Hat, Cent. OS, you can configure static IPs as follows: 1. I use them alternatingly, NOT simultaneously. NAT networking is enabled and working in both cases. I have an ESXi 5.1 host on Dell R610. Guest IP address is not showing up on a vSphere Summary page with VMware Tools. This time I configured networking before installing VMware tools. IP address and hos info showed up.VMWare uses the address 1. Virtual. Box uses the address 1. Therefore I'd like to change the host IP address either on VMWare, or on Virtual. Box (whatever is easier, it doesn't matter), so that the address is the same regardless of the environment. It looks simple, but I couldn't achieve this!
