| 8 | As mentioned in <xref href="settings-network.dita#settings-network"/>, Oracle VM VirtualBox
|
|---|
| 9 | provides up to eight virtual PCI Ethernet cards for each virtual
|
|---|
| 10 | machine. For each such card, you can individually select the
|
|---|
| 11 | following:
|
|---|
| 12 | </p>
|
|---|
| 13 | <ul>
|
|---|
| 14 | <li>
|
|---|
| 15 | <p>
|
|---|
| 16 | The hardware that will be virtualized.
|
|---|
| 17 | </p>
|
|---|
| 18 | </li>
|
|---|
| 19 | <li>
|
|---|
| 20 | <p>
|
|---|
| 21 | The virtualization mode that the virtual card operates in, with
|
|---|
| 22 | respect to your physical networking hardware on the host.
|
|---|
| 23 | </p>
|
|---|
| 24 | </li>
|
|---|
| 25 | </ul>
|
|---|
| 26 | <p>
|
|---|
| 27 | Four of the network cards can be configured in the
|
|---|
| 28 | <b outputclass="bold">Network</b> section of the
|
|---|
| 29 | <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> window in VirtualBox Manager. You
|
|---|
| 30 | can configure all eight network cards on the command line using
|
|---|
| 31 | <userinput>VBoxManage modifyvm</userinput>. See
|
|---|
| 32 | <xref href="man_VBoxManage-modifyvm.dita#vboxmanage-modifyvm"/>.
