Host-only (aka vmnet1): when you give a virtual machine a host-only network adapter, VMWare will be a generating another private subnet local to your computer, then will assign IPs from this subnet to your virtual machines using VMWare DHCP server, when traffic originating from host-only subnet tries to leave your computer (Find out yours from WMWare under Edit > Virtual Network Editor > VMNet 1)Ħ. NAT (aka vmnet8): when you give a virtual machine a NAT network adapter, VMWare will be a generating a private subnet local to your computer like 192.168.27.0/24, then will assign IPs from this subnet to your virtual machines using VMWare DHCP server, when traffic originating from NAT subnet tries to leave your computer the source IP will change to your Windows IP, this (Find out yours from WMWare under Edit > Virtual Network Editor > VMNet 8) This network adapter is best for performance.

Edit VM settings network adapters, change first Network Adapter type to bridge, and change Network Adapter 2 type to NAT, here is a summary of how networking work in VMWare workstation:īridged: when you give a virtual machine a bridged network adapter, you are allowing the VM to get its own unique IP, separate from your host machine IP, assuming your Windows IP is 192.168.150.212, the VM will get the IP 192.168.150.213 or so, same subnet different IP. Notice the Download the GNS3 VM link at the bottom. Import GNS3 VM into your hypervisor, the following example shows the specific instructions for VMWare Workstation using ova file:ĥ. Install GNS3 application client first, make sure to unselect “Start GNS3” at the end of the setup: (Optional for Windows 10 and 11 users: you can Unselect Tools > WinPCAP since it’s no longer needed)Ĥ. GNS3 VM is available for many hypervisors depending on your preference:ģ. Download GNS3 application client, and GNS3, both components must be installed: Open the official GNS3 website and click Free Download, you may need to signup/signin:Ģ.Follow these instructions to install GNS3 Network Emulation Software in Windows 10 / 11
