4 <title>Binding NAT Sockets to a Specific Interface</title>

8 By default, Oracle VM VirtualBox's NAT engine will route TCP/IP
9 packets through the default interface assigned by the host's
10 TCP/IP stack. The technical reason for this is that the NAT
11 engine uses sockets for communication. If you want to change
12 this behavior, you can tell the NAT engine to bind to a
13 particular IP address instead. For example, use the following
14 command:
15 </p>
16 <pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage modifyvm <varname>VM-name</varname> \
17--natbindip1 "10.45.0.2"</pre>
18 <p>
19 After this, all outgoing traffic will be sent through the
20 interface with the IP address 10.45.0.2. Ensure that this
21 interface is up and running before changing the NAT bind
22 address.
