MAC Address | The virtual network adapter’s MAC address. You can manually edit it or click the ↻ regenerate button to generate a new unique MAC address.
Static IP | Allocate static ip address to VM. This is only possible if you select the custom network.
Port Forwarding | Forward TCP/UDP Port from host to guest port of the VM. This is only possible for Custom Shared Networking

These settings are useful for controlling how the virtual machine accesses the network and communicates with other devices on the host network or internet.
