- IPv4 Mode: Select one of the following for your IPv4 network:
- DHCP: If your network contains a DHCP server, select DHCP to automatically receive a dynamic IPv4 address for the host.
- Static: If you want to assign a specific IPv4 address to your host, select Static to manually configure the IPv4 address, netmask or CIDR, and the default gateway for the host.
- IPv4 address, IPv4 Netmask, IPv4 Gateway: Enter the IPv4 address, netmask, and gateway for the network to which the host connects.
- Disable Path MTU Discovery: Select this check box if you want to disable path MTU discovery in your network path. This check box is deselected by default, which means path MTU discovery is enabled by default. Path MTU discovery is used to determine the MTU size to avoid IP fragmentation.
- IPv4 MTU: Enter the maximum transmission unit, which is the size of the largest protocol data unit that can be communicated in a single network layer transaction. Valid values are from 576 to 9000. The default value is 1500.
17. Optionally, in the IPv6 Network Settings, complete the following if you are not using the DHCP service:
- IPv6 Mode: Select one of the following for your IPv6 network:
- DHCP: If your network contains a DHCP server, select DHCP to automatically receive a dynamic IPv6 address for the host.
- RA: Select this to use router advertisements in your IPv6 network. The host auto-generates a link-local address to communicate with other hosts or neighbors on the same network.
- Auto Select: Select this to allow the system to select the best way to obtain an IPv6 address for the host.
- Static: If you want to assign a specific IPv6 address to your host, select Static to manually configure the IPv6 address, CIDR, and the default gateway for the host.
- IPv6 address, CIDR, IPv6 Gateway: Optionally, you can enter the IPv6 address, CIDR, and gateway for the network to which the host connects.
- IPv6 MTU: Enter the maximum transmission unit, which is the size of the largest protocol data unit that can be communicated in a single network layer transaction. Valid values are from 1280 to 9000. The default value is 1500.
18. In the DNS resolver and NTP configuration section, complete the following:
...
19. In the Ready to complete screen, review and verify the configuration, and then click Finish. The following is an example with sample data:
20. To configure multiple network interfaces for your host, select the VM from Inventory, and then right-click the VM and select Edit Settings. For information about multiple interfaces, see Multiple Network Interfaces for Hosts.
- On the Edit Settings screen, click Add New Device > Network Adapter, as illustrated below:
- Use the Browse function to locate the new network, as illustrated below:
- Click OK to save the new network interface.
