So much of my lab is virtualized that I am continuously tweaking the networking and settings within VMware.  Most of the lab runs on VMware 5.5 so there are some manual tweaks that I have to do that are done in the GUI of 6.x.  This note is so that I don’t have to keep googling how to enable nested virtualization.

In order to expose hardware acceleration within a VMware host:

[code]
/vmfs/volumes/56f54bc4-e6a63540-8ac0-782bcb1f2794/WinGNS3 # vi WinGNS3.vmx
[/code]

Add this line:

[code]
vhv.enable = "TRUE"
[/code]
