Virtual
network interface controllers or vNICs physically and virtually connect the
virtual machine to other neighboring machines (West, 2022, p. 46). These are
the links that enables the host to connect to VMs. Throughout my research, I
learned about three common network configurations: bridged, NAT (network
address translation), and Host-only mode.
Bridged
mode is known to be the easiest route regarding accessibility for VM to connect
to a network since it uses the host’s physical network adapters. NAT mode is
useful if the user needs to keep their virtual machines private and away from
the public eye. NAT is best suited for testing the waters. Lastly, the host-only
mode is basically a one-way road. WMs can share data with each other but they
cannot communicate with other nodes beyond the host (West, 2022, p. 47).
