Passthrough NIC Direct Workstation 16 pro

[snigy1]

Recently purchased vmware workstation 16 pro, i assumed that i could pass through a second hardware nic from the host to the vm as the vm sole nic, wanting to use a lab with Vlans. Is this possible i can only see it mentioned in esxi and not workstation.

Hi,

The only type of pass-through support that is available in VMware Workstation is USB pass-through.
PCIe pass-through is not available for Workstation, only for VMware vSphere/ESXi.

hope this helps,
