What type of network configuration ...........virtual DHCP server to lease to physical machine.....

[gakumar]

Dear All,

Scenario:

1. VMware workstation 12 running on a highend laptop.
2. VMware workstation 12 hosts a Domain Controller and a domian joined windows servers 2012 R2 running DHCP role.
3. The laptop is connected to a 8 port hub. Hub is connected to 3 physical servers, these 3 servers need a DHCP lease from
   virtual DHCP server.

The networking done is "Host Only" What type of networking I need to do on the VMWare Workstation and on the DHCP server. Please refer any article/tutorial if possible

Thanks for your time, eforts and valuable suggestions.

Hi,

Your virtual DHCP server must be on a bridged network adapter, this cannot work with "host only".

edit: to be clear, I mean the network settings in your DHCP VM, should not be "NAT" or "host only" but "Bridged".
