Listing Adapters

You can view the physical, virtual, and VLAN network adapters existing on your Parallels server using the vznetcfg utility. For example, you can execute the following command to list the available adapters:

# vznetcfg if list

Name Type Network ID Addresses

eth0 nic Bridged 10.30.18.41/16,dhcp

br2 bridge Bridged

br1 bridge Host-Only

br0 bridge Shared

vnic1 vnic Host-Only 10.37.131.2/24

vnic0 vnic Shared 10.37.130.2/24

The information on adapters is presented in the table having the following columns:

Column Name	Description
Name	The adapter name.
Type	The type of the network adapter. It can be one of the following: `nic` denotes a physical adapter installed on the Parallels server. `vlan` stands for a VLAN adapter available on the Parallels server. `vnic` denotes a virtual network adapter available on the Parallels server. By default, 2 virtual adapters are created during the Parallels Server Bare Metal installation: `vnic0` and `vnic1` . Besides, a new virtual adapter is automatically created on the server when you create a new Virtual Network. `bridge` is a virtual bridge automatically created for each Virtual Network on the Parallels server.
Network ID	The ID of the Virtual Network where the network adapter is connected. Detailed information on Virtual Networks is provided in Managing Virtual Networks .
Addresses	The IP address and subnet mask assigned to the network adapter. `dhcp` denotes that the adapter gets its network parameters from a DHCP server.
