 ==== Terminology ==== ==== Terminology ====
 When considering how networking functions in VMWare (6.5.0 is what i am using) it can seem very confusing, however once you have configured it once it makes a lot of sense, it's just a little confusing at first. Before we look at configuration, lets consider some common terms that we will be using. When considering how networking functions in VMWare (6.5.0 is what i am using) it can seem very confusing, however once you have configured it once it makes a lot of sense, it's just a little confusing at first.

 <color #00a2e8>vSwitch</color> - This is a virtual switch, this just allows a user to assign virtual ports (called port groups) to a virtual switch. A <color #00a2e8>vSwitch</color> contains one or more port groups and is associated with a physical interface. <color #00a2e8>vSwitch</color> - This is a virtual switch, this just allows a user to assign virtual ports (called port groups) to a virtual switch.

-<color #ff7f27>Port Groups</color> - P<color #ff7f27>ort Groups</color> are a bit like Cisco VLANs. You create a <color #ff7f27>Port Group</color>, and in each Virtual Machine you can assign each of your VM interfaces to a <color #ff7f27>Port Group</color>.+<color #ff7f27>Port Groups</color> - <color #ff7f27>Port Groups</color> are a bit like Cisco VLANs.

-vmnic - This is the name VMWare has assigned to each of your physical interfaces. So on my server I have vmnic0 to vmnic11 (vmnic0 is my connected to my management switch, vmnic7 is connected to my data switch).+<color #22b14c>vmnic</color> - This is the name VMWare has assigned to each of your physical interfaces.

 +Imagine for simplicity, you wanted each Physical Interface to map to an interface in your VM. Lets say you have 3 Interfaces in your VM, you would have something like this.
