|network| Network
=================
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:** emulate an empty network. 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 to a virtual switch created by :ref:`hardware/network:VDE`. Only available on Linux and macOS hosts.
Interface
^^^^^^^^^
Host network adapter to use for PCap mode on this card. If no adapters appear in this list, make sure PCap is :ref:`enabled on your host and a supported network connection is present <hardware/network:PCap>`.
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 MAC address for Ethernet cards, and the I/O port and IRQ for ISA cards.
.. note::
* The MAC address is partially configurable and always prefixed by an `Organizationally Unique Identifier <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizationally_unique_identifier>`_ belonging to the card's manufacturer, such as ``00:E0:4C`` for Realtek.
* 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>`.
* Settings for the **[COM] Standard Hayes-compliant Modem** are described on :ref:`Networking <hardware/network:Modem>`.
VDE Socket
^^^^^^^^^^
The socket name specified when creating the VDE virtual switch. Only used in **VDE** mode.
See the :ref:`VDE setup guide <hardware/network:VDE>` for more information.
