78+ ## Accessing ports by IP address
79+
80+ To access a guest's ports by its IP address, connect the guest to the ` vzNAT ` or the ` lima:shared ` network.
81+
82+ The ` vzNAT ` network is extremely faster and easier to use, however, ` vzNAT ` is only available for [ VZ] ( ./vmtype/vz.md ) guests.
83+
84+ ``` bash
85+ limactl start --network vzNAT
86+ ```
87+
88+ See [ Config » Network » VMNet networks] ( ./network/vmnet.md ) for the further information.
