In the the above example, there are three networks named ''Bridged'', ''HostOnly'' and ''NAT''. These are assigned to virtual switches ''vmnet0'', ''vmnet1'' and ''vmnet8'' respectively.
The switches available by default are the result of choices made during the initial VMware Server installation and configuration process as described in the [[Installing VMware Server 2.0 on Linux Systems]] and [[Installing VMware Server 2.0 on Windows Systems]] chapters of this book. if, for example, ''vmnet8'' is not listed this is most likely due to the fact that NAT was not selected as a network configuration option during the VMware Server installation.
To identify the switch to which a particular virtual machine is connected, select the machine from the ''Inventory'' and refer to the ''Hardware'' panel of the ''Summary'' page. Any ''Network Adapter'' entries will list the name of the network to which that virtual network adapter is connected, which may then be cross referenced with the host information obtained above to identify the corresponding virtual switch (in this case vmnet0).
