Data can be sent from the Host to the virtual machine using this interface. When we attach this software interface to a virtual machine, it appears to the Host machine as if the virtual machine is physically connected to the interface via a cable.

This also creates a new network interface in software. By using this driver, VirtualBox takes data from the physical network and also inserts it into it. This driver filters the data from the physical adapter of the Host. In the Bridged networking mode of VirtualBox, a device driver called ‘net filter’ is used on the Host machine.

To overcome this limitation, a bridged networking mode was introduced. The drawback with this mode is that other devices (including the Host) and VMs on the network cannot access the guest VM and the outside internet, and the Host can access selected services on the VM only using port forwarding.

NAT or Network Address Translation is the default networking mode of any new VM inside VirtualBox. Let us first understand the concept and working of Bridged networking mode. We will check the connectivity with the ‘ping’ command. We will use Ubuntu 20.04 VM running inside Oracle VirtualBox. This guide will learn how we can configure Bridged networking mode in a VirtualBox virtual machine.

Not Attached (network card is present, but the cable is unplugged).

There are six networking modes supported in VirtualBox, namely: It has many powerful networking features to set up any desired configuration. We do not need to mess up with our main Host OS. With VirtualBox, we can run multiple operating systems simultaneously. That is due to MAC regeneration that in the clone machine, there are eth2 and eth3 Ethernet interfaces instead of eth0 and eth1 in the original machine.VirtualBox is one of the popular virtualization platforms from Oracle Corporation. Generally, you should have lo, eth0, and eth1 when you type ifconfig command. You can check with ifconfig command that in the new cloned machine has only lo registered. you can check it by this following command: ifconfig -a | grep eth In my case, the new cloned machine has eth2 and eth3.

The original virtual machine has eth0 and eth1. I think there is something related to the re-generate the machines' mac-addresses. I am building parallel computing environment that needs interconnection between the virtual machine through ip network.
