Name: A unique identifier for the network. Forwarding mode: * NAT (Network Address Translation): VMs share the host's IP address to access the internet but remain hidden from incoming external connections. Routed: Traffic is routed between the VMs and the physical network without address translation. Isolated: VMs can talk to each other and the host, but have no access to the external physical network. Device: Set to Automatic to let the system generate the virtual bridge device. IP Configuration: * IPv4 address: The gateway IP for the virtual network (e.g., 192.168.100.1). Mask or prefix length: Defines the size of the network (e.g., 24 for a standard 255-host subnet). Set DHCP range: If enabled, the system will automatically assign IP addresses to VMs from a specified pool.
