But as its a lab environment we can overlook this fact and use it to our advantage.Īs we do not have VLAN available, we cant use vlan ids on our network but for segregation. As we can not do VLAN in workstation we can not restrict the layer 2 broadcast domain. VLAN is a way to keep traffic separate from one network to another and broadcast is limited to VLAN itself. So host and guest OS has different IP addresses. NAT (Network Address Translation) network: NAT gives a virtual machine access to network resources using the host computer's IP address.īridged : In this network type virtual machine speaks to the network available on physical network card with the IP assigned to VM itself. Lets start simple, unlike ESXi, it has three types of pre-defined network types (Host Only, Nat and Bridged).Host-Only : Machines connected to a host only network can only communicate to VMs connected same private network and host (machine on which VMware Workstation is installed). Thanks to my friend Mr Vaibhav Tiwari who helped me understand VMware workstation product as a whole, and it is really good for performing labs with limited resources, if not all but most of the labs can be covered with it. How to achieve networking same as a DC and route multiple VLANs. I am able to create custom virtual network and connect guest to it setting static ip address, in that case I can connect from host to guest, but the problem is I can not connect to the internet from guest.In my Home Lab series we covered everything from a physical ESXi Host perspective, however as highlighted by many readers most of us do not have server and wish to do the lab using VMware workstation, trickiest part is networking. I do not have any firewall rules in guest: /sbin/iptables -L shows no rules. : 255.255.255.0Īnd I can ping host from guest by 192.168.71.1, but again can not ping guest from host(this is what I need). If I enable some network adapter from win7 network conenctions, say VMnet1, accordingly these lines appear in win7 ipconfig Ethernet adapter VMware Network Adapter VMnet1: ifconfig of the guest is thisīut pinging guest from host by ip 192.168.252.138 gives Request timed out. I am connected by NAT (I could not manage to do bridged connection). This is the ipconfig of host(win 7) Connection-specific DNS Suffix. I have win7 OS with vmware workstation with debian 7.
