With "hostonlyif" you can change the IP configuration of a host-only network interface. For a description of host-only networking, please refer to Section 6.7, “Host-only networking”. Each host-only interface is identified by a name and can either use the internal DHCP server or a manual IP configuration (both IP4 and IP6).

The following list summarizes the available subcommands:

ipconfig "<name>"

Configure a hostonly interface

create

Creates a new vboxnet<N> interface on the host OS. This command is essential before you can attach VMs to host-only network.

remove vboxnet<N>

Removes a vboxnet<N> interface from the host OS.
