  • 1.  No network in CentOS 8 virtual machine

    Posted Oct 28, 2020 08:49 PM

    Hi, I have installed manually VmWare tools, now it running, also I have installed NetworkManager. I see my CentOS virtual machine MAC-address in virtual switch. But I still have no network in CentOS virtual machine. Why?

    Sorry for screen, but I have no network and have no SSH in that VM.

    You will need to supply more information.

    I see my CentOS virtual machine MAC-address in virtual switch. What do you mean by this?

    I still have no network in CentOS virtual machine. What do you mean by “no network”?

    How does the behaviour differ from what you expected?
    What is your host vSwitch configuration look like?

    What does the VM network adapter configuration look like?

    1). Virtual machine has addr 127.0.0.1 despite network configuration is present

    2). nmcli is a standard manager of network interfaces inside CentOS - it not see anything interfaces at all in this machine

    3). for virtual switch I connected a lot of other machines, it working in my datacenter with VLAN tag, all other machines working successfully except this CentOS VM

    4), vmware-tools service working, networkmanager,service working, static IP address is defined inside VM, but not applying because VM not see any network interfaces

    5). moreover virtual switch see this VM and assign MAC-address to VM, this means VM correctly connect to switch
