[vbox-dev] Creating host-only network interfaces with VBOX API

[Karoline Haus]

Hi, can someone explain how I can create a host-only network interface, configure it with static IP addresses, or DHCP, and then attach it to a VM? I cannot find the API call to create these type of network interfaces? Many thanks for any pointers.

Hi,

This would be your start point.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.


Now once I have created one of these, how to I go about attaching a DHCP server to them via the API? I can see that I can only pass a network name to the DHCP server object, but not a host-only interface name? Or is that the same?

Thanks for your help.

The Host-Only interface has a networkName property that should be what you
require for the DHCP server - never used it before so it's only a guess,
but it looks like a good match.
