Static Guest IP

Enabling static IPs in guests

Host

In order to get a static guest IP, one can NOT use the default switch and instead must create "their own"

Make the switch

New-VMSwitch -SwitchName "MySwitchName" -SwitchType Internal

Get the necessary index

Get-NetAdapter

Set the IP settings

New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 192.168.3.1 -PrefixLength 24 -InterfaceIndex {INDEX}

Setup NAT (internet access)

New-NetNat -Name MyNAT -InternalIPInterfaceAddressPrefix 192.168.3.0/24

Guest

Setup the guest IP (manually, no DHCP server exists)

vim /etc/network/interfaces
---
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
	address 192.168.3.2 
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 192.168.3.1
