− | 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 new private network, choosing one of the 192.168.X.Y/24 subnets is a good choice. | + | When starting with a new [[VE]] that should not be directly visible on the LAN it is important to choose an appropriate IP address.

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). | 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). |
