16. In **Host Network Adapters**, select a network adapter you would like to configure. By default, the network adapters
108-
request an IP automatically from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The CIDR block of an
109-
adapter's possible IP address is displayed in the **Host Network Adapters** screen without selecting an individual
110-
adapter.

In the configuration page for each adapter, you can change the IP addressing scheme of the adapter and choose a static
113-
IP instead of DHCP. In Static IP mode, you will need to provide a static IP address and subnet mask, as well as the
114-
address of the default gateway. Specifying a static IP will remove the existing DHCP settings.

There are a few options you can configure for each network adapter.

You can also specify the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for your network adapter. The MTU defines the largest size,
117-
in bytes, of a packet that can be sent over a network interface without needing to be fragmented.

- If desired, specify the VLAN ID. A VLAN ID enables you to logically segment network traffic on the same physical

network interface, providing network isolation and enhanced traffic management. If you assign a VLAN ID, the

host tags all outgoing packets from that adapter with the specified VLAN identifier.
