For Virtual Server, an emulation of a physical network. A virtual network can be configured to provide access to local or external network resources for one or more virtual machines. A virtual network includes a virtual DHCP server that can provide Internet Protocol (IP) address leases to virtual machines only. See also: external virtual network; internal virtual network
A network that provides virtual circuits and that is established by using the facilities of a real network.
Virtual LAN. Way to logically regroup computers of the same network.
a network that is not a physical network, but is contained inside a BACnet Router
A logical network that exists inside Novell NetWare and NetWare-compatible servers and routers but is not associated with a physical adapter. The virtual network appears to a user as a separate network. On a computer running Windows 2000 Server, programs advertise their location on a virtual network, not a physical network. The internal network number identifies a virtual network inside a computer. See also internal network number; external network number.
An interconnected group of networks (an internet) that appear as one large network to the user. Optionally, or perhaps ideally, a virtual network can be centrally managed and controlled.
A network between virtual machines with no dependence on real-world hardware connections. For example, you can create a virtual network between a virtual machine and a host that has no external network connections. You can also create a LAN segment for communications between virtual machines on a team See also LAN segment, and Teams.
A network with no physical instantiation beyond a router (with a physical network interface on another network). The router (a Home Agent, for example) generally advertises reachability to the virtual network using conventional routing protocols.
A network of devices that interact as if they were on a common network segment, regardless of their geographical proximity.
A virtual network provides the functionality, or application programming interface (API), of links between nodes, as in a computer network. The implementation of these virtual links may or may not correspond to physical connections between nodes.
