If the default configuration does not fit your needs just edit /etc/exports and update the latest line, e.g. User just need to edit /etc/exports file to allow the local network to mount NFS shares. NFS Server is already installed on DVDK but needs to be configured before using it. NFS is commonly used to network mount the target root file system. Even if this is a security hole, it allows using NFS without changing the default configuration on any network Latest DVDK/MVM use a different default configuration which exports /home directory for all IPs. Edit the configuration files as described here.To configure the network connection, the following approaches are available: Now the new configuration is added and the Network Manager Applet should tell you that the connection with your network is establishedįor more information about ubuntu take a look at its official documentation LXDE Once the graphical interface is ready, right-click on the NetworkManager Applet on the top Panel and choose Edit Connectionsįill all the required fields (name and IPv4 configuration) and hit Apply button. The procedure may differ from one graphical environment to the other. select the host network interface to bridge to in the Name dropdownĬreation of the network connection.tick the Enable Network Adapter checkbox.In this case the VM will be able to access the public network using the NATed interface (via host WiFi) while serving TFTP/NFS file to the Embedded Linux system This is a useful setup, for example if your're working on a laptop connected to Internet via Wi-Fi, while you're developing using the bridged network adapter on Ethernet. If you have more than one network interface, choose the right one to connect the bridge tooĪn advanced setup is to add another network adapter to be used as Bridged Adapter, while keeping the first network interface with NAT Now the Name dropdown should be enabled.Choose Network item and, from the Attached To: dropdown choose Bridged Adapter.from the VBox main window, select your VM and choose Settings from the toolbar.open VBox application and start DVDK VM.It's easy to change Virtual Box Network configuration:

If it is not installed, use these commands to install it:Īfter installing it, please reboot the MVM in order to make the changes to take effect. To do that, please ensure network-manager applet is installed by issuing this command on a terminal shell: The procedure here described makes use of graphical tools to configure network interface. Guest by default uses DHCP so, if DHCP server is available on your network, no additional configuration is needed.

configure, if needed, guest networking.

To change from NAT to Bridge configuration user have to:

guest is directly accessible (apart from firewall rules that may be configured on the host) from any device on the same subnet.

guest (DVDK Virtual Machine) has it's own IP address, usually on the same subnet of the host.

In brief, Bridge Networking configure host's physical network interface and guest's virtual network interface as if they are connected with a Ethernet Switch. as NFS or TFTP server), for this reason the developer usually choose a bridged configuration, with proper IP parameter assignments.īridged configuration However it's really hard to configure NAT to let the VM to act as a server (e.g.

it guarantees that the VM can be executed in any network environment without breaking the existing network.it does not require to configure guest network parameters (the router act as DHCP server and give all the needed information to the guest).NAT make easy to use a virtual machine because: Usually the routed device (in our case, the guest machine) has an IP address that belongs to a completely different IP subnet. Only the IP address of the routing device (in case of a Virtual Machine, the host ack at router for the guest) is seen from outside. Network Address Translation is a tecnique used in IP networking that modify IP packet header, by changing IP address, while the routing device processes the packet. NAT, which is the default provided with DVDK, and.For a in-depth discussion regarding virtual networking see VBox official documentation here.įor developing purpose, we are interested in two configuration: VirtualBox networking supports different configurations. 3.2.1 Creation of the network connection.3.2 Network Configuration of the VM (guest).1 VirtualBox Network Configuration Primer.
