3 In the NIC eld, select the Principal (Public) network connection in the drop-down.
Note Adjacent IP addresses should be reserved and used for the Principal (Public) IP address and the
management IP addresses for the Primary and Secondary servers when installing vCenter Server Heartbeat
on servers running Windows Server 2008.

5 Enter the Principal (Public) IP address Subnet Mask in the rst Mask eld.
6 Enter the reserved Management IP address in the Mgmt IP eld.
7 Enter the reserved Management IP address Subnet Mask in the second Mask eld.
Note The Public IP Addresses table allows multiple entries. The table also allows you to congure Public
(Public IP)and Management (Mgmt IP) IPs for the same network adapter on separate lines to accommodate
multiple Public IPs in the same or dierent subnets and multiple Mgmt IPs in the same or dierent subnets.
The following rules apply to the table:
■
Each row must identify a network adapter
■
Each row must identify either a Public IP/subnet mask or Mgmt IP/subnet mask
■
For each network adapter listed, you must have at least 1 Public IP/subnet and 1 Mgmt IP/subnet,
however these may be congured on separate rows
8 Click Next or Finish.
