Overview/Description
VMware Workstation makes the networking component as straightforward as possible while providing Network Address Translation or NAT, bridged, and Host-only networks with very little configuration needed. In this course, you will look at these networking options along with the private network and the IP addressing, routing, and network settings that are required to configure each of the network types. This course also explores how you can use virtual machines remotely by sharing them with other virtual infrastructures, managing virtual machines that are running on a remote virtual server, or simply establishing a virtual desktop connection to interact with the guest operating system remotely.
