Setup Networking on a PC

[spetrillo]

Hello all,

I have a PC with two NICs. NIC1 will be for mgmt and other vms to be spun up. NIC2 will be dedicated to one vm. How would I setup the second NIC. Do I just pass it through to the vm or do I setup a bridge and leave it in manual? I would like the vm on NIC2 to get its IP from DHCP.

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

a bridge is like a switch and will forward any DHCP communication to your vm. Therefore adding a bridge with the second NIC as bridge port and assigning the bridge to the vm will work out.
