vmnet1 and vmnet8 not showing up after install Fusion 8.x or 10.x on Mac Sierra

After installing Fusion 8.x and 10.x, I cannot find the vmnet1 and vmnet8 at all.

I attached is my /dev

When I do

sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli -c

This is what I got:

Configuring Bridged network vmnet0

Configuring hostonly network vmnet1, probing for unused subnet ...

Configuring NAT network vmnet8, probing for unused subnet ...

Failed to create DHCP configuration file for network vmnet1

Failed to create DHCP configuration file for network vmnet8

Failed to configure default network settings

Stopped all configured services on all networks

There is something really wrong. Could you please help?

I have Mac OS High Sierra by the way.

I tested the same process using Mac Sierra and it didn't have problem.
