It works like a charm right? But if you see the results, you will notice that the output says Interface ‘VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter’ was successfully created. First let’s run the first command VBoxManage hostonlyif create Now if were to follow along with the commands as provided above on Windows, I run into a distinct problem. Subsequent networks will be named vboxnet1, vboxnet2 and so on. So from this command we see that we create a new network, and then we assign the IP based on the name vboxnet0 which is the default name. This example adds a host-only network range and assigns it 172.16.0.254/24 as the IP. If you are running on a Mac platform, or on a Linux system, you can run the commands above to follow along with what many blogs use. VBoxManage hostonlyif ipconfig networkname –ip n.n.n.n –netmak n.n.n.n The *Nix Version In this case we are focusing on this command:
The full VBoxManage commands and parameters list is available here:
The VirtualBox product comes with command line tools to be able to control nearly every aspect of your virtualization environment, including guest control, virtual disk management and in the case of what we are talking about here, host-only virtual networking. Add on Vagrant and you’re really ready for fun, but that’s another post altogether 🙂 VBoxManage It’s a platform specific thing because you are running Windows rather than Linux, and it isn’t an issue unless you are following command line scripts and docs from people using the other platform.įor those who haven’t tried out VirtualBox, it’s freely available, and you will find that it is a common platform for the OpenStack lab work that I do, as well as with the vBrownBag sessions. If you’re trying out Virtual Box on a Windows host, there is a little catch with the virtual network interface names that happens.
