Edit → Virtual Network Editor

</aside>

1. Virtual Network Editor (Admin) → Add VMnet2..VMnet5 → set each to Host-only.
2. Disable DHCP on VMnet3..VMnet5 (optional). Leave VMnet2 DHCP on if you want host access on Corp (optional).
3. Keep VMnet8 NAT and ensure the network range matches 192.168.154.0. This is how we will get internet. All 3 VMs needs this, or they will not reach the internet!
4. Per-VM NICs (select the Host-only adapters we created above):
   • OPNsense: add 4 adapters → VMnet2, VMnet3, VMnet4, VMnet5 (in that order).
   • Ubuntu Site VM: 1 adapter → VMNet3 and VMnet4 only.
   • Ubuntu Cell VM: 1 adapter → VMnet5 only.

VMware Fusion (macOS Intel)

1. VMware Fusion → Preferences → Network → Add/Customize Host-only networks.
2. See workstation instructions above
