VE?
== Private VEs (not directly visible from the LAN) ==
When starting with a new [[VE ]] that should not be directly visible on the LAN it is important to choose an appropriate IP address. By running "ifconfig -a" on the host it is possible to see all the networks the host is connected to. The VE should reside on a a new private network, choosing one of the 192.168.X.Y/24 subnets is a good choice.
For example, on a host which is already on a 192.168.1.0/24 subnet then the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet would be a reasonable choice (unless the host is already on that subnet too).
