VMWare Fusion: vmnet1 and vmnet8 not showing up after install Fusion 8.x or 10.x on Mac Sierra


After installing Fusion 8.x and 10.x, I cannot find the vmnet1 and vmnet8 at all.

When I do

sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli -c  

This is what I got:

Configuring Bridged network vmnet0  
Configuring hostonly network vmnet1, probing for unused subnet ...  
Configuring NAT network vmnet8, probing for unused subnet ...  
Failed to create DHCP configuration file for network vmnet1  
Failed to create DHCP configuration file for network vmnet8  
Failed to configure default network settings  
Stopped all configured services on all networks  

There is something really wrong. Could you please help?

Below is my /dev

Solution

  • After digging this through I found the issue was with security and privacy settings on mac high sierra, when you Install vmware 10 0r 8 in security and privacy options(general tab) on mac you would not see " Allow Vmware " option for this to happen.

    run this command Sudo spctl --master-disable and restart the system. After that reinstall Vmware and you should see this option in "Security and privacy | general tab ".

    Note: while installing Vmware if you keep the "security and privacy" window open you will not see this updated you have close it and open it again.

    Tested this with Vmware 8.0.0 & VMware 10 it works ( mac High sierra v 10.13.2 )
