Continuing from where I left in the blog<\/a> before. If you are using looking to configure a static IP for your machines (may be your use case is similar to mine) this blog might be useful for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My system is a Apple M1 silicone and Virtualbox was not for me and I had to painfully find my way in the ocean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a look at this<\/a> useful lib.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Typical Usage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Steps I am using are mentioned here<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  • I built it from source so it was just following the steps mentioned in the README.md<\/code><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    sudo make PREFIX<\/strong>=\/opt\/vde\/ install<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    The PREFIX defines a path and can be any path to your liking, but the recommended one is \/opt\/vde<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Install would two files of interest<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • \/Library\/LaunchDaemons\/io.github.lima-vm.vde_vmnet.plist<\/code><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      By default the guest IP is assigned by the DHCP server provided for the Host, but the guest will be able to access the internet and will be accessible from the host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Reserve an IP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      • Define a unique MAC<\/code> address for the VM, e.g. de:ad:be:ef:00:01<\/code><\/li>
      • Select a reserved IP address, e.g. 192.168.105:10<\/code><\/li>
      • Create a file \/etc\/bootptab<\/code><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        %%\n# hostname     hwtype  hwaddr              ipaddr          bootfile\ncentos1        1       de:ad:be:ef:00:01   192.168.105.10\ncentos2        1       de:ad:be:ef:00:02   192.168.105.20\ncentos3        1       de:ad:be:ef:00:03   192.168.105.30<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
        • Reload the DHCP daemon<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          sudo launchctl unload -w \/System\/Library\/LaunchDaemons\/bootps.plist\nsudo launchctl load -w \/System\/Library\/LaunchDaemons\/bootps.plist<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
          • Run the qemu machine with -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,mac=de:ad:be:ef:00:01<\/code><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
