macOS Guest on same network as other guests

All my non macOs guests are on the same bridge in the host (bridge100). The macOs guest create its own bridge (bridge102). Is there any way to get it to use the same bridge as the other VMs so they can be on the same network?

Hello @MichaelL87 ,The bridge network is the Mac host network. Parallels does not create a separate subnetwork under the bridge network. This is done only on the shared network. Please reinstall Parallels Tools by referring to this knowledge base article: https://kb.parallels.com/115835 and check. Thanks.
 
The Mac host network has a number of bridges created by Parallels. One for shared, one for host-only. All my VMs with shared network are created on the bridge100 (shared) and the host-only VMs on the host-only bridge (bridge101)....
I'm running on Ventura on a M1 MAC and I'm using the "Parallels Mac guest" and it DOES create a new bridge (bridge102) on the host network that only it uses no matter if I install (re-install) the parallels tools in the VM...
 
Ok. Maybe the same question in less technical terms.

Why are all my linux and windows VM on a shared-network 10.211.55.0/24 but my MacOs VM is on a 192.168.64.0/24 network. I want them to be on the same 10.211.55.0/24 network.
 
I faced the same problem after upgrade to (53606), no matter the config.ini with Network.Type=1 or =2, the bridge102 still created when the MacVM started. I want the MacVM network can be controller as before, Network.Type=1 - shared network, Network.Type=2 - bridge to the Host Mac wifi or ethernet interface.
Please provide fix ASAP

same problem here!
 
Hello,
I have the same problem with Parallels version 19.2.1 (don't have test before).
Do you have found a solution? Having the macOS VMs in a different network than the Linux/Windows/... VMs make the test of network communications between them difficult.
Thanks in advance.
 
Necrobumping this. This is definitely an issue that I haven't been able to find a solution for. Is there any technical reason why Mac guests require their own bridged adaptor on a separate internal LAN? I'd like my VMs to all be routable between one another, but despite extensive testing and troubleshooting I'm not able to change the host adaptor to which the Mac guest is bound, unless I change the adaptor type to bridged, and even then I'm only able to bridge my host's eth0/wifi adaptor which still does not put it on the same net as other VMs unless I put them all on bridged. Hoping for a resolution to this ASAP.
