How To Create a Virtual Networks by Using VMware Workstation
In developing and testing a system in a real network, VMware Workstation is very useful.I will show you an example of how to test a database server system with virtual networks.A database server connecting to an external network through a firewall.An Administrator has a computer that connects to a database.The virtual network shows you that there are four virtual machines that will be created and that the settings editor is needed to adjust them.The virtual machine can connect to an external network if the host computer's network adapter is used.The virtual machine should have two Custom adapters, the first one should be used to make Virtual machine1 and the second one to connect it to the internet.One of them is for connecting the two networks.The virtual machine4 only needs one custom adapter to connect to the virtual network.
Step 1: Click the left window to open Virtual Machine1, but do not power it on.
Step 2: You can choose the settings.
Step 3: Click the Network Adapter on the Hardware tab.
Step 4: The network type to use is the bridge.
Step 5: Click OK if you don't want to.
Step 6: Choose the settings.
Step 7: Click on the Hardware tab to add it.
Step 8: Click Next if you want to select a network connection.
Step 9: From the dropdown menu, choose the network you want to use.
Step 10: Click to finish.
Step 11: Click the left window to open Virtual Machine2 but do not power it on.
Step 12: Click Network Adapter on the Hardware tab.
Step 13: Pick the network you want to use from the dropdown menu.
Step 14: Click the left window to open Virtual Machine3 but do not power it on.
Step 15: Click the Network Adapter on the Hardware tab.
Step 16: Pick the network you want to use from the dropdown menu in the right windows.
Step 17: To add a second virtual network adapter, use the virtual machine settings editor.
Step 18: The second adapter needs to be connected to Custom.
Step 19: Click the left window to open the virtual machine, but don't power it on.
Step 20: The virtual machine settings editor can be used to add a virtual network.
Step 21: The adapter should be connected to Custom.
Step 22: You can choose the Virtual Network Editor.
Step 23: Click the Add Network button on the Virtual Network Editor dialog box.
Step 24: Choose the network to add from the dropdown menu on the Add a Virtual Network dialog box.
Step 25: Click OK if you don't want to.
Step 26: Add VMnet3.
Step 27: In the DHCP settings dialog box, you can check the range of IP addresses for the two companies.
Step 28: The virtual machines have power on them.
Step 29: If you want to open the firewall in virtual machine1, you have to close the others.
Step 30: The default settings for the bridged network adapter should be kept in Virtual Machine1, and you should assign an internet address to the adapter in the range you are using.
Step 31: If you want to use the range you are using with Virtual Machine2 to connect the two adapters, you need to assign an internet address for them.
Step 32: You can assign an address for the adapter to connect to in Virtual Machine3 by using the range you are using.
Step 33: You can assign an internet address for the adapter in Virtual Machine4 to connect to the internet in the range you are using.
