Hey Evon.

Did you succeed? 

From your last post, I would advise that you "add" an ethernet interface on your virtual machine hardware configuration if you want to use one of the 8 physical ports you mentioned earlier. This is not dependent on the virtualization software you are using.

Bridging is a way for your virtual machine to use your host's physical ethernet port as an ethernet port on its own.

You may use Tony's link as a guide. I went through it and you may find it to be quite useful.

KVM has more than you have requested. Hoping you have setup 64bit though. You need to build a bridge for each Ethernet.

Go KVM way, you will not regret.

Hi Guys, I have tried The Oracle VirtualBox. Yes you can use bridge form, but it does not give me more features like use a different Ethernet adapter, noting i have four in Generation 8. I want a way, a VM can be independent from the main machine. like Different Ethernet Card, different domains and such. Alex Nyalika, will KVM Hypervisors have such?  Please Linux Guru`s, help.

regards,

Evon Wangari

For open source hypervisors, I would recommend KVM for production environment. Am currently running several sites on this platform with the vm guest handling as much as 10m TPS without much impact on hardware resources.

I think Vmware Player can still do this. You select the bridged option for every guest

VirtualBox suffices.
