The hostonlyif command enables you to change the IP configuration of a host-only network interface. For a description of host-only networking, see Section 6.7, “Host-Only Networking”. Each host-only interface is identified by a name and can either use the internal DHCP server or a manual IP configuration, both IP4 and IP6.
The following list summarizes the available subcommands:
-
ipconfig "<name>" Configures a host-only interface.
-
create Creates a new vboxnet<N> interface on the host OS. This command is essential before you can attach VMs to a host-only network.
-
remove vboxnet<N> Removes a vboxnet<N> interface from the host OS.
