    VMWare Fusion:  Tips and Tricks

Assign Static IP to VM


Determine the MAC address of the network interface(s) you wish to assign a static IP to:

$ ip link
link/ether 00:0c:29:c5:05:d6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
You can also view the vm guest network settings under advanced


Edit the dhcpd.conf file

/Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/vmnet8/dhcpd.conf
Take note of the "range" line, as your static ip must not be in this range


subnet 192.168.234.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
	range 192.168.234.128 192.168.234.254;
	option broadcast-address 192.168.234.255;
	etc
}

Add your new host after the line below:

####### VMNET DHCP Configuration. End of "DO NOT MODIFY SECTION" #######


host mgmt01 {
    hardware ethernet 00:0C:29:C5:05:D6;
    fixed-address  192.168.234.20;
}
The End
