At the moment, my Ubuntu VM is already created with default configuration. Next, I will have to make some changes and connect the Ubuntu VM to the following networks:
| Network | Connected Device | Device Port | Info | IP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vmnet3 | vMX – Ubuntu Server | eth0 | OoB MNG Net | 192.168.83.10 |
| vmnet4 | vMX – Ubuntu Server | eth1 | Intelink with VLANs | 172.16.109.10 |
| vmnet5 | vMX – Ubuntu Server | eth2 | Intelink with VLANs | 192.168.50.10 |
Software
- Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
- VMWare Fusion 10.0.1 Pro
Procedure
1. Create the needed networks into VMWare Fusion using Network GUI.
2. From Fusion application, click Ubuntu VM, go to Virtual Machine > Settings… and add the created networks.
3. Login to Ubuntu VM from Fusion console.
silvia@vMX-ubuntu:~$ sudo -i [sudo] password for silvia:
4. Check the network setting.
root@vMX-ubuntu:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:9e:bb:5b inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe9e:bb5b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:185 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:111 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:18483 (18.4 KB) TX bytes:14165 (14.1 KB) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:9e:bb:65 inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe9e:bb65/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:648 (648.0 B) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:48 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:48 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3596 (3.5 KB) TX bytes:3596 (3.5 KB) virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:07:ea:ed inet addr:192.168.122.1 Bcast:192.168.122.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
4. Change default configuration for eth0 by deleting DHCP setting and adding the static setting. Note: eth0 is connected to vmnet3.
root@vMX-ubuntu:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces # 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 auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inetdhcpstatic address 192.168.83.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.83.0 broadcast 192.168.83.255 gateway 192.168.83.1 # The secondary networks interface auto eth1 iface eth1 inet manual
5. Restart Ubuntu VM. It didn’t work for me to restart the interface or networking process.
6. When the Ubuntu VM is UP again, check the interface
silvia@vMX-ubuntu:~# ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:9e:bb:5b inet addr:192.168.83.10 Bcast:192.168.83.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe9e:bb5b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:201 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:120 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:19908 (19.9 KB) TX bytes:16815 (16.8 KB)
7. Configure eth1 and eth2 network interfaces connected to vmnet4 and vmnet5.
silvia@vMX-ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces # 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 auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.83.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.83.0 broadcast 192.168.83.255 gateway 192.168.83.1 # The secondary networks interface auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 172.16.109.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 172.16.109.0 broadcast 172.16.109.255 gateway 172.16.109.1 # The secondary networks interface auto eth2 iface eth2 inet static address 192.168.50.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.50.0 broadcast 192.168.50.255 gateway 192.168.50.1
8. Restart the VM and check again the network configuration.
silvia@vMX-ubuntu:~$ ifconfig | grep -A 1 eth eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:9e:bb:5b inet addr:192.168.83.10 Bcast:192.168.83.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 -- eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:9e:bb:65 inet addr:172.16.109.10 Bcast:172.16.109.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 -- eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:9e:bb:6f inet addr:192.168.50.10 Bcast:192.168.50.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
