WHAT IS pnet0,pnet1,pnet2 ??

[anandvoyager]

Hi friends & ULDIS sir(you are awesome),
i have a scenario ..... i installed vmware workstation , created eve-ng vm (NAT adapter selected , vmnet8 - 192.168.6.0/24 , mgmt ip - 192.168.6.100, gateway - 192.168.6.2) and one win 7 vm (other network - /dev/vmnet3 - 192.168.20.0/24) alongside. now inside eve i created a linux host (kali),asav,other ious too.

My task ...... i am new to asa firewall world and beginners knowledge of vmware . i dont know if asdm comes with asa or not ..... i got a asdm.bin file I HAVE TO COPY THE ASDM FILE TO ASA , now i have to created a tftp server(listening 192.168.20.129) on the win 7 vm that i created along side eve-ng vm . now what i did i changed the pnet1 inside /etc/network/interfaces of eve-ng machine with below details

#cloud devices (NOTE: pnet0 was taken by eve-ng machine with ip 192.168.6.100 and gateway 192.168.6.2 ,, i gave something similar)
iface eth1 inet manual
auto pnet1
iface pnet1 inet manual
address 192.168.20.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.20.1
dns-domain something.example
dns-nameservers 192.168.20.1 8.8.8.8 (i dont have nameservers)
bridge_ports eth1
bridge_stp off


I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO USE pnet0 , pnet1 ........... why they are there(inside /etc/network/interfaces) ..... will these help me in connecting the win 7 machine with asa .... so that i can copy asdm.bin file and access asdm.


simply put ....... can i access (windows)VM's outside eve-ng VM , through linux images , asav installed inside eve-ng machine. i am stuck , if anybody could help .... hope someone has encountered this issue. could anybody help/explain with a thier own scenario.

FIRST,

YOU MUST not touch pnet interfaces inside EVE.
Remove your settings from pnet1..it is mistake !!!

Only pnet0 is used to be as your EVE mgmt access IP, over GUI http or ssh.
rest are bridged networks between your EVE lab (clouds) to your other external networks (vmnets)

Next,
Pnet interfaces are bind with EVE topology network cloud. Coud0=pnet0
clou1=pnet1

Rest linking how to for EVE VM is explained in this excel.
