shared | The default network type operating as NAT + DHCP. Every VM after the start/resume gets an IP address assigned by the internal DHCP server in range 192.168.64.2 - 192.168.64.254. Programs inside a VM can access external networks (outside the host) and the internet directly. Also, other VMs on the host are also accessible. |
host | Not currently supported. |
bridge | The Bridged type will cause the VM to show in the network as an individual device and receive a unique IP separate from the host.An ENV is available to set the interface name: ANKA_BRIDGE_NAME=en0 When using the bridge, port-forwarding is not necessary as the VM will receive a unique IP that will be accessible directly to all other devices on the network. By default, DHCP will not see your VM’s MAC address. You’ll need to enable --direct-mac for the network-card: anka modify VmName network --mode bridge --direct-mac |
disconnected | The VM will have a disconnected network cable. |
nat | Experimental network mode for Apple Silicon/ARM, allowing ~10x the speed compared to the shared mode. Does not support VM to Host isolation or ARP Spoofing prevention. |
