NIC check boxes Description: Select the NICs you would like to modify. (If you do not configure a NIC on
this screen, its configuration will not be changed on the target server.) Then
select your IP assignment:
• DHCP – Make a DHCP request to get the IP address and other networking
information from a DHCP server. Choosing this might mean the system will
get a different IP address each time it boots.
• Static – Specify an IP address and network mask that will stay the same on
every boot. If you select this option, you are required to specify an IP address
and network mask. These fields will be displayed automatically if this option
is selected.
◦ IP addresses are numeric characters separated by periods (.) such as
192.168.1.1
This is displayed for a single server selection.
◦ Starting IP address: Servers will be assigned incremented static IP
addresses beginning with this address. This is displayed for multiple server
selection.
◦ A Network mask is the IPv4 mask representing the bits reserved for
network identification such as:
255.255.255.0
This is displayed for a single server selection.
Default value: DHCP
A View Generated Settings table will be displayed to show how the values will resolve for each
