A Virtual Dual NIC (Network Interface Card) setup refers to configuring a Virtual Machine (VM) or a software-defined system with two separate virtual network adapters (vNICs). Each virtual interface acts exactly like a distinct physical network card, complete with its own unique MAC address and IP address.
This architecture allows a single virtualized OS to interact with two independent networks simultaneously or group the cards together for performance optimization. How It Works
A Virtual Dual NIC operates by splitting a single virtualized operating system’s traffic into two distinct, manageable pathways.
