  • 1.  physical network adaptor

    I am using VMware workstation 15 Pro. On the host, I have 2 physical networks available. Is it possible to asign for each VM its individual external adaptor?

    As far as I know, there is a setup to select the external adaptor, but his is selected then for all VMs.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,

    One way to do that is to create a new network for each physical adapter.
    So in addition to bridged, NAT and host only.

    Then assign the new network to the VM.

    Open Edit → Virtual Network Editor, and click Change Settings. Set VMnet0 to Bridged, and choose to bridge it to a specific network adapter (not Automatic), then click Add Network, and bridge that one to the other network adapter. You can also rename this network (for some reason, you can't rename VMnet0). Close Virtual Network Editor by clicking OK.

    In the VM Settings, add two network adapters, choose Custom for both of them, and assign VMnet0 to the first one, and whatever you named your second one to the other adapter. Your VM now has two network cards, each connected to a different network card on your host.
