How can I configure my computer (localhost) to assign dynamic IP addresses to virtual machines made by virtual box?

Note: I am using Ubuntu Desktop LTS 16.

  • It's not exactly clear what you're asking. Do you want to use bridged networking and run a DHCP server on your host? If not, then Virtualbox has its own DHCP server if you use NAT or Host-only networking.

  • I want to PXE boot them from my local host. All the virtual machines are inside my computer. However, PXE booting seems to need some DHCP configuration. How can I do that?

  • The answer is exactly the same as if you had some physical computers on your network that you want to PXE boot. You'll need to set up a PXE boot server on your host. Once you get that running, use bridged networking for your VM's.

  • Can you help me how can I configure that? I am a beginner in Linux and networking. I am getting an error when I execute: cp -fr install/netboot/* /var/lib/tftpboot/

  • This is the error: cp: cannot stat 'install/netboot/*': No such file or directory
