# Chapter 1: Understanding the Principles of Virtual Machine Networking
In this chapter, we will delve into the fundamental principles of virtual machine networking, including the types of virtual machine networks and the relationship between virtual machine networks and physical networks.
### What is a Virtual Machine Network?
A virtual machine network refers to a network structure simulated by software within a virtualized environment, allowing virtual machines to communicate and exchange data with each other or with physical machines.
### Types of Virtual Machine Networks
1. **Internal Network**: Used for communication between virtual machines, isolated from the physical network.
2. **Dedicated Network**: A private network set up for specific virtual machines or groups of virtual machines, offering higher security and isolation.
### The Relationship Between Virtual Machine Networks and Physical Networks
- Virtual machine networks are built upon physical networks and connect and communicate through different network configuration methods.
- Virtual machine networks can be seen as an extension and supplement to physical networks, providing a more flexible and controllable network environment for virtual machines.
In the following chapters, we will focus on introducing the concepts, configuration methods, and their applications in virtualization environments for internal networks and dedicated networks.
# Chapter 2: Overview of Internal Networks
Within virtual machine networks, the internal network is an important concept, offering a way for virtual machines to communicate in a virtualized environment. Below we will delve into the concept, advantages, and configuration steps of internal networks.
### Advantages and Uses of Internal Networks:
The advantages of internal networks mainly include:
1. **Strong Isolation**: Internal networks can effectively isolate virtual machines from external networks, enhancing network security.
2. **High Flexibility**: Users can freely configure communication methods between virtual machines through internal networks to meet the needs of different scenarios.
3. **Resource Savings**: Internal network communications do not pass through physical network devices, reducing network resource usage.
The main uses of internal networks include:
- **Setting Up Internal Testing Environments**: Users can set up testing environments within internal networks to conduct various experiments and application tests.
- **Building Virtualization Clusters**: Users can build virtualization clusters through internal networks, achieving resource sharing and management.
### Internal Network Configuration Steps:
When configuring an internal network, the following steps are needed:
1. **Create an Internal Network**: Define parameters such as the name and address space of the internal network.
2. **Add Virtual Machines to the Internal Network**: Configure the network settings of virtual machines to connect them to the internal network.
3. **Configure Communication Rules**: Set the communication rules between virtual machines within the internal network, including firewall settings.
Next, we will demonstrate the configuration process of internal networks through actual code examples and flowcharts.
# Chapter 3: Practical Internal Network Configuration
In this chapter, we will详细介绍 how to configure internal networks, including creating internal networks, connecting virtual machines to internal networks, and internal network communication and isolation. Through the following steps, you will better understand the setup process and considerations for internal networks.
## Steps to Create an Internal Network:
1. Open the virtual machine management tool and select the network settings option.
2. Click to create an internal network and fill in the network name and subnet information.
3. After confirming the internal network settings, save and apply them.
To better illustrate the internal network setup process, here is an example code snippet (using Python) to create an internal network:
```python
# Import relevant libraries
import libvirt
# Connect to the local Hypervisor
conn = libvirt.open('qemu:///system')
# Define internal network name and subnet information
network_name = 'internal_network'
subnet = '***.***.***.*'
netmask = '***.***.***.*'
# Create the internal network
network = ***workDefineXML(f'''
<network>
<name>{network_name}</name>
<bridge name='{network_name}'/>
<forward mode='nat'/>
<ip address='{subnet}' netmask='{netmask}'>
</network>
''')
# Start the internal network
network.create()
```
With the above code, you can successfully create an internal network named `internal_network` and specify the subnet as `***.***.***.*`.
Next, let's display the steps to connect a virtual machine to the internal ne
