VirtualBox Host-Only Adapter with Static IP

Raw

Virtual Box Host Only Static IP.md

Add a host-only adapter to the VM in VirtualBox.

Temporary

On the client, setup eth1 to use a static IP address temporarily.

$ ifconfig eth1 192.168.56.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

Persistent

To make this change permanent, add the following to /etc/network/interfaces

$ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

# The host-only network interface
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.56.101
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.56.0
broadcast 192.168.56.255
