In an Academic Computing lab we've created a multiple VM configuration of 12 separate desktop client and router machines. Students will use these on a single host PC in a basic networking class to experiment with firewalls and static route manipulation.
These VMS are all isolated from the host and the real physical network, using multiple named LAN Segments. Various VMs are on different LAN Segments as dictated by the need to create separate routed links.
We created the configuration on one of the student machines, so now we need to duplicate it on the other 11 student machines.
Copying the VMs from one PC to another is not difficult, but can anyone advise whether there's any way to:
1. Automate the importing of multiple VMs into a Folder underneath 'My Computer' in WorkstationPro (which is how we had it setup on the first install PC), without having to manually create such a folder on each new host PC and then import all the 12 VM's one by one. So is there there a way to duplicate the configuration/layout as on that first PC we setup?
2. Is there a way to retain/copy the LAN Segment configuration/setup from one PC to another? At the moment, none of the VMs that we've copied onto a second PC retain any knowledge of the LAN Segments at all.
Thanks
Jonathan
