available for selection.
7. On the Edit Attributes page:
NOTE: OpenManage Essentials does not include any passwords from the source when the conguration template is
created. If you want to set the passwords for the target devices, all password attributes must be edited in the
conguration template before deployment. If you want to change the password, ensure to run the deployment task
as a dierent user. If you are changing the password of the device through the deployment, ensure that you run the
deployment task with a dierent user account.

h. To assign a new Static IPv4 Address for the deployment, enter the Static IPv4 Address in the Value column of IPv4Static 1
IPv4 Address attribute.
NOTE: Deploying the template with the changed Static IPv4 Address initiates a new discovery task for the
device. For more information on the task details, see Task Status. The new Static IPv4 Address is added to the
discovery range under
Manage → Discovery and Inventory → Discovery Ranges → All Ranges.
NOTE: If Static IPv4 Address is used in the deployment of a chassis template, then all the components in the
chassis are rediscovered after the deployment task is completed.
NOTE: If Static IPv4 Address is provided and the DHCP attribute is enabled, then the DHCP settings take
precedence over the provided Static IPv4 address. Similarly, If Static IPv4 Address is provided and the DHCP
attribute is disabled, then the Static IPv4 Address is used for the template deployment.
