[Day 1] 4. Network Adapters in VMware

1. Internal Network

   • Virtual machines (VMs) can communicate with each other if they are on the same internal network, but cannot access the internet or the host machine.

2. Bridged

   • The host and VMs share the same network, with the host providing IP addresses via DHCP. VMs can access the internet if the host can.

3. Host-Only

   • VMs can only communicate with the host machine, but cannot access the internet. The host can access the internet.

4. NAT

   • VMs are assigned private IP addresses by the host. VMs can ping the host, but the host cannot ping the VMs.

5. NAT Network

   • Similar to NAT, but VMs within the network cannot communicate with each other.

Loopback Address Range

• The range for loopback addresses is 127.0.0.1 to 127.255.255.255.

Access Logs

• When you access a website on a browser, an entry is logged in the access.log file located at /var/log/apache2 in Debian-based.
• Similarly at /var/log/httpd in RedHat-based.
