Virtual box network settings, so let's set up our virtual network.
It is, of course, required to use virtual box because we really do want to avoid accidental damage
to actual systems during this course.
So therefore, we will ensure that all virtual machines that we are going to be using will be on the
same virtual network.
So the network is the ability of multiple devices to communicate with each other, you know that, right?
It's either going to be wired or wireless.
And we can use this to connect a network device typically.
So we will configure the net network so that all virtual machines that we're going to be using are on
the same network.
Now, when we create a net network, Oracle Virtual Box will be the program that will automatically
assign an IP to all the computers in this network.
The IP, of course, is the address that is required for a computer to communicate with other computers
over this network.
Each computer has to have its own or different IP.
In fact, each computer connected to the Internet has a different IP address.
The IP refers to the address for computers, the address of each computer.
It's got to be different.
The IP address is available in two different versions, IPV four and IPV six.
Now widely used across the world is IPV for its 32 bits, and it consists of four eight bit numbers,
each separated by dots.
So here's an example one nine two dot one six eight.
Not one dot one.
Now, each no group can have a value between zero and 255.
So if there are two computers with the same IP, there will be IP conflicts in the network.
So in order to prevent this DHP or dynamic host configuration protocol is used.
And what DHP does is assign a different IP to each computer, so therefore you don't have an IP conflict,
right?
So that establishes the network.
So we'll click file.
Click preferences.
And click on network.
And now click, add new network on this screen and click on the arrow and then exit.
Now, the virtual machines will need to get into this network, so click virtual machine.
And cook settings and cook on network on the incoming screen.
So on this Green Select Nat network from attached to and click on the Arrow.
And then you can follow the same process for your other virtual computers.
