Chapter V. Unified Wire Manager (UM)
Add Virtual Network Configuration
There are three kinds of virtual networks you can create using this module:

External network: Using this type, you can provide virtual machines access to external
networks and vice versa via a physical network adapter in the host system. The virtual
machines can also communicate with each other on the same virtual network.

Internal Network: This type allows communication between virtual machines in the same
virtual network and also between the virtual machines and the host. This type of virtual
network is not bound to any physical network adapter and no access to external
networks is provided.

Private Network: A Private Network is similar to Internal Network in that physical adapter
is not required for setup and access to external networks is not provided. However,
unlike Internal Network, guest operating systems can only communicate with guest
operating systems in the same private network and not with the host. The host operating
system cannot access the virtual machines on private network.
Once created, you can manage the virtual networks in the Virtual Network Manager module.
