VMware NET networking mode¶

VMware NET networking mode refers to the network configuration setting within VMware virtualization environments that allows virtual machines (VMs) to communicate with the host machine and other VMs on the same network.^[600-developer-tools-vscode-vmware.md]

Configuration¶

Static IP (Linux)¶

To configure a static IP in a Linux environment using NET mode, the network interface configuration file (e.g., for device ens33) can be edited to specify BOOTPROTO=static along with the IPADDR, GATEWAY, NETMASK, and DNS1 values^[600-developer-tools-vscode-vmware.md]. The ONBOOT parameter must be set to yes to ensure the interface activates automatically at boot^[600-developer-tools-vscode-vmware.md].

DHCP IP (Linux)¶

For dynamic IP assignment, the configuration should be set to BOOTPROTO=dhcp^[600-developer-tools-vscode-vmware.md].

Windows Host Configuration¶

Configuring the hosts file on the Windows host is a common practice for name resolution. This file is located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc^[600-developer-tools-vscode-vmware.md]. Administrators typically map specific IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.79.20) to hostnames (e.g., w20) to facilitate network access^[600-developer-tools-vscode-vmware.md].
