how do i add 2 bridged network interfaces to linux VM?

Post by magnolia »

I have added 2 bridged network interfaces to linux VM but the VM only shows 1
No way to see the second one



Does virtualbox 6.1 support adding more than one interface? does it support adding 2 bridged network interfaces?

As far as I know it will work as far as VirtualBox goes, but of course there will be a practical difficulties if the same PC is attached to the same network twice.

Please provide these things:

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. Zip the VM's .vbox file (not the .vbox-prev file), and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions if the folder that opens does not show a .vbox file.)

In both host and VM Linux OS's, open a Terminal and run ifconfig or ip address. Post the command outputs. Label which is which.
