Configuring Virtual Network Parameters

Parallels Server Bare Metal allows you to configure the following parameters for a Virtual Network:

• the name assigned to the Virtual Network
• the networking mode in which the Virtual Network is operating
• the description of the Virtual Network

All these operations can be performed using the prlsrvctl utility. Let us assume that you want to configure the vznetwork1 Virtual Network. This Virtual Network is currently configured as a host-only network, attached to the vnic2 adapter, and has the following description: This is a host-only Virtual Network . To change these parameters, you can execute the following command:

# prlsrvctl net set vznetwork1 -n psbm_network1 -t bridged --ifname eth1 -d "This is a bridged Virtual Network"

This command sets the following parameters for the vznetwork1 Virtual Network:

• Changes the Virtual Network name to psbm_network1 .
• Changes the Virtual Network type to bridged. To do this, prlsrvctl detaches the Virtual Network from the vnic2 adapter and connects it to the eth1 physical adapter on the Parallels server.
• Changes the Virtual Network description to the following: This is a bridged Virtual Network . You can view this description in Parallels Management Console.
