Consider a VM called baby hosted in mother (the real machine) attached to lan family. Its services needs to be accessed by anyone of the lan family. Moreover VM baby must access the outside world.
How to do it
On mother configure the network setting of baby as
Bridged with Replicate physical network connection state enabled.
On baby configure a static address.
Depending on the baby OS you should configure the network interface as follows:
For Debian distro….
Edit the file
vi /etc/network/interface.d/<interface_file>
<interface_file> represents the file for the configuration of the network) as follows:
iface ens32 inet static address 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.254
baby shoud take IP 192.168.1.3 with gateway 192.168.1.254 on the lan family.
Remember to edit DNS resolution with
vi /etc/resolve.conf
setting the name server you want to query
nameserver 192.168.1.254
In this case the DNS server is the gateway.
For CentOS distro….
First, type “nmcli d” command in your terminal for a quick list of the ethernet card installed on your machine:
Type “nmtui” command in your terminal to open Network manager. After opening Network manager chose “Edit connection” and press Enter (Use TAB button for choosing options).
After restarting you should connect to the IP on the lan family.
Last words
Be carefull not to assing IPs on the family dhcp server slot, or you may experience some troubles during IP assigning.
