=================
|
|
|
|
The **Network** page contains settings related to the emulated machine's network connectivity.
|
|
|
|
Network Card #1-#4
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Network interface cards to emulate. Up to 4 independent network cards are supported.
|
|
|
|
Mode
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
Network emulation mode to use on this card. See :doc:`../hardware/network` for more information on these.
|
|
|
|
* **Null Driver:** the emulated card is available to the guest but all packets are dropped.
|
|
* **PCap:** connects directly to a host network adapter. Similar to the **Bridge** mode on other emulators and virtualizers.
|
|
* **SLiRP:** creates a private network with a virtual router. Similar to the **NAT** mode on other emulators and virtualizers.
|
|
* **VDE:** attaches the system to a virtual switch created by :ref:`hardware/network:VDE`.
|
|
|
|
Interface
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Host network adapter to use for PCap mode on this card. If no adapters appear on this list, make sure that:
|
|
|
|
* A WinPcap-compatible driver is installed;
|
|
* The installed driver is compatible with your version of Windows;
|
|
* At least one compatible (wired) network adapter is present.
|
|
|
|
Adapter
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Network card to emulate. Only cards supported by the machine's expansion buses will be listed.
|
|
|
|
The *Configure* button opens a new window with settings specific to the selected network card, such as the I/O port and IRQ for ISA cards.
|
|
|
|
The **[LPT] Parallel Port Internet Protocol** network adapter requires a **PLIP Network** device to be attached to a :ref:`parallel port <settings/ports:Parallel port 1-4>`.
|
|
|
|
VDE Socket
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The socket name specified when creating the VDE virtual switch. Only used in **VDE** mode.
|
|
|
|
See the :ref:`hardware/network:VDE` section for more information. |
