Hello, I would like to better understand how network is modeled in Proxmox. I come from a VMware background which has the following options:

  • NAT: This is like a virtual switch/hub, with one side connected to the host network and the other side to the virtual machines. One has to configure the network address, mask and gateway. The gateway acts as a DNS server and optionally as a configurable DHCP server, to distribute IP to the virtual machines.
  • Bridge: The guest bridges one of the host's own network cards. So it usually received an IP in the same subnet, from the same DHCP server as the host's.
  • Host-only: This is an isolated that can optionally be connected to host as a virtual nic (to allow for connections from the host to the guest for example via ssh). One has to configure the network address, and mask and gateway. It can optionally act as a DHCP server, to distribute IP to the virtual machines.
I'm trying to correlate this into proxmox, so I can assign the equivalent of a vmnet nat to a proxmox virtual machine.
Cheers
