Why each option
VMs that need unique IP addresses from the host's subnet require bridged networking, which connects the virtual NIC directly to the physical network segment.
NAT places VMs on a private hypervisor-managed subnet and translates their traffic through the host IP, so VMs receive addresses from a separate internal range rather than the host's subnet.
Local-only (host-only) networking creates an isolated virtual network between the host and VMs only, with no path to the physical network or its DHCP server.
Bridged networking connects the VM's virtual adapter to the host's physical NIC at Layer 2, making each VM appear as a distinct device on the physical network. This allows the subnet's DHCP server to assign unique IPs from the same address range used by physical hosts. Bridging is the correct mode when VMs must participate as peers on the host's existing subnet.
Overlay networking is a cloud and container technology for spanning virtual networks across multiple physical hosts and is not used to grant individual VMs access to a local physical subnet.
