shared | The default network type operating as NAT + DHCP. Every VM after the start/resume gets an IP address assigned by the internal DHCP server in range 192.168.64.2 - 192.168.64.254. Programs inside a VM can access external networks (outside the host) and the internet directly. Also, other VMs on the host are also accessible. This mode typically works with multiple interfaces on the host. |
host | It is very similar to the shared one, but the VM get IP addresses from range 192.168.128.2 - 192.168.128.254 and can’t access external networks outside of the host. |
bridge | The Bridged type will cause the VM to show in the network as an individual device and receive a unique IP separate from the host.
An ENV is available to set the interface name: `ANKA_BRIDGE_NAME=en0`
When using the bridge, port-forwarding is not necessary as the VM will receive a unique IP that will be accessible directly to all other devices on the network.
By default, DHCP will not see your VM's MAC address. You'll need to enable `--mac` for the network-card: `anka modify VmName --type bridge --mac {MAC HERE}`
|
disconnected | The VM will have a disconnected network cable. |
