Mapping Multiple NICs in VMWare-1.0.6 Hi, I would like to map my 3 physical NICs to my Virtual interfaces (vmnet). I have 3 NICs connected on HOST machine going to different networks (DMZ, LAN, WAN). I added a Network interface using the Virtual Machine Setting and set it to "Bridge" mode but was unsuccessful to map it physically. Then I tried to "Custom: Specific Virtual Network" and set VMnet2 as interface 2. However, I still got both IP from my LAN (192.168.1.0) network whenever I use DHCP on eth1. Setting eth1 as static via /etc/network/interface got "Destination host unreachable". Is there a way where I can set into bridge mode the 3 interfaces? Here's what i'm trying to do: NIC 1 (LAN) ---> Vmnet0 (Bridge) ---> 192.168.1.0 NIC 2 (DMZ) ---> Vmnet2 (Bridge) ---> 10.10.125.0 NIC 3 (WAN) ---> Vmnet3 (Bridge) ---> 202.xx.xx.xx Please help? TIA
You should be using bridge mode on all 3 interfaces. It sounds like you are going to perform routing on the guest OS. Check the cables and make sure they are leading where you think they are--that may be why dhcp is pulling the wrong address.
I have seen a post in vmware.com forum and it was mentioned there that I cannot do "brigde" to make this work. I am not sure if this is true because I haven't tested it personally. I'm quite sure I've placed the NICs properly to their corresponding network, it shouldn't be an issue. any thoughts? thanks!
