Execute nmtui as root user from the terminal which will open a new terminal UI to configure network as shown below # nmtui To configure network we will use nmtui tool. Ideally in most cases the newly added network adapter should get the IP from DHCP Server (Our HOME or OFFICE Router).ĪLSO READ: SSH into VirtualBox VM But we don't see any network IP assigned to this interface so we will have to fix this issue. So, enp0s8 seems to be newly added as enp0s3 was already there on this VM. Link/ether 08:00:27:93:8c:70 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ffĤ: virbr0: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default qlen 1000

Once the VM is powered on, we need to configure the network in our Linux VM to be able to use it. Again right click on your VM and select Start -> Normal Start to power on the VM. Next we will power on the VM to further complete the network configuration. But if you have multiple interfaces on your host server then you can select your preferred device from the drop down menu under Name: In most cases the default network device from your host machine will be selected which should work out of the box. HINT: There is one additional field here Name: which means the device to be used to Bridge the network.

Select the Network Type from the drop down menu under Attached to section, in most cases you can select Bridged Adapter. Next select on Adapter 2 and click on the checkbox to enable this adapter.

Click on Network form the left sidebar menu. This will open a new pop-up window with the different Settings option. Step-3: Add additional network adapter in the VM

Right click on the VM and select Settings as shown below:ĪLSO READ: How to configure port forwarding in VirtualBox for NAT Networking Next open the Network Settings of the VM. Right-click on the VM in your VirtualBox console and select ' Power Off' under ' Close' as shown below: From the Linux terminal as root user or using sudo you can execute the following command to power off the VM: # poweroffĪlternatively, if you do not wish to do a graceful power off then you can also initiate power off using VM's settings. You MUST power off the VM to be able to add additional network adapter in Oracle VirtualBox. If your VM is already in powered off state then you can skip this step. Now I intend to add one more network adapter to this VM for some tests.

I have a Oracle VirtualBox installed on my Windows 10 Laptop where I have created a VM with single network adapter. I have already explained about my setup, but let me just put in consolidated order so it is easier for you to understand. I have AlmaLinux 8 installed on my VM so my steps would work on distributions like Rocky Linux, Fedora, CentOS etc. Additionally I will share the steps to configure this new network on your Linux server which is installed on the VM.ĪLSO READ: How to connect virtual machine to internet connection in VMware/VirtualBox Although for beginners this may look little tricky so I plan to write a step by step tutorial to add additional network adapter to existing VM and steps to be done. Now single network interface should be enough in most cases but if we want to add additional network interface to the same VM then the same can be done very easily. When we create a new VM, by default we only have single single Network Adapter assigned to the VM. I can just create multiple VMS, add additional disks, add additional Network Adapter to the VM and continue with my test.

I am personally a big fan of Oracle VirtualBox software as now I don't have to worry about multiple hardware or server to test different configurations on multiple setups. Most of use are already familiar with Oracle VirtualBox which gives us a platform to create Virtual Machines.
