Guest operating system direct access to multiple NICs
I am running a series of CPUs that have 5 1Gb NICs.
The host's operating system is Windows 10 Pro, and the guest operating system is Linux Mint 19.
The common NAT'd connection, standard network connection works fine.
The problem is, I want the guest (Linux Mint) to have direct access and full control over the remaining 4 NICs.
The remaining 4 NICs do not necessarily have an IPv4 or IPv6 protocol stack loaded against them.
So, direct access to the hardware from the guest is needed.
As an example, imagine the guest Linux Mint running Wire Shark against the 4 remaining NICs to watch all kinds of packets and protocols.
Can this be done, and if so are there any documented resources or quicks around?
