# Networking
|
|
|
|
## VirtualBox Internal Network
|
|
|
|
The Vagrant VirtualBox provider supports using the private network as a
|
|
VirtualBox [internal network](https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_internal).
|
|
By default, private networks are host-only networks, because those are the
|
|
easiest to work with. However, internal networks can be enabled as well.
|
|
|
|
To specify a private network as an internal network for VirtualBox
|
|
use the `virtualbox__intnet` option with the network. The `virtualbox__`
|
|
(double underscore) prefix tells Vagrant that this option is only for the
|
|
VirtualBox provider.
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
|
|
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.50.4",
|
|
virtualbox__intnet: true
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Additionally, if you want to specify that the VirtualBox provider join
|
|
a specific internal network, specify the name of the internal network:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
|
|
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.50.4",
|
|
virtualbox__intnet: "mynetwork"
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## VirtualBox NIC Type
|
|
|
|
You can specify a specific NIC type for the created network interface
|
|
by using the `nic_type` parameter. This is not prefixed by `virtualbox__`
|
|
for legacy reasons, but is VirtualBox-specific.
|
|
|
|
This is an advanced option and should only be used if you know what
|
|
you are using, since it can cause the network device to not work at all.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
|
|
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.50.4",
|
|
nic_type: "virtio"
|
|
end
|
|
```
