Add New Interface Click Add New Interface option to create a network interface in a

template server component. Under this interface all network settings are

specified for a server. This interface is used to find a compatible server in

inventory, for example if "Two Port, 10 gigabit" is added to the template,

when the template is deployed ASM will match a server which has a two

port 10 gigabit network card as it's first interface.

For more information on adding a new interface, see Adding New

Interface.

Static Network Default

Gateway

Select the default gateway IP address for routing network traffic.

Identity Pool Select the virtual identity pool from which virtual identities (MAC address

and WWPN/WWNN) are selected for boot from SAN deployment.

NOTE: After entering the information about PXE network in the respective field as described in the

table above, ASM will untag vLANs entered by the user in the PXE network on the switch server

facing port. In case of vMotion and Hypervisor network, for the entered information ASM tags these

networks on the switch server-facing ports. In case of Rack Server, ASM will configure those vLANs

on TOR server facing ports (untag PXE vLANs, and tag other vLANs). In the case for Blade Servers,

ASM will configure those vLANs on the IOM server facing ports(untag PXE vLANs and tag other

vLANs).
