The information in this CSV file applies different static and dynamic IPv4 settings to vm-3-win on the
protected site and on the recovery site.
n
On site vcenter-server-site-B:
n
Sets the DNS suffixes example.com and eng.example.com for all NICs for this virtual machine.
n
Adds a NIC, Adapter ID 1, with primary and secondary WINS servers 2.2.3.4 and 2.2.3.5, that uses
DHCP to obtain an IP address and sets the static DNS server 1.1.1.1.
n
Adds a NIC, Adapter ID 2, with primary and secondary WINS servers 2.2.3.4 and 2.2.3.5, with a
static IPv4 address 192.168.1.22 and DNS server 1.1.1.2.
n
On site vcenter-server-site-A:
n
Sets the DNS suffixes to example.com and eng.example.com for all NICs for this virtual machine.
n
Sets the DNS servers 1.1.0.1 and 1.1.0.2 for all NICs for this virtual machine.
n
Adds a NIC, Adapter ID 1, that uses DHCP to obtain an IPv4 address and the globally assigned
DNS server information.
n
Adds a NIC, Adapter ID 2, with primary and secondary WINS servers 1.2.3.4 and 1.2.3.5, and a
static IPv4 address 192.168.0.22.
Example: Setting Static and DHCP IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses
You can modify the generated CSV file to assign multiple NICs to vm-3-win, one of the virtual machines.
The NICs can use a combination of static and DHCP IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The settings can be different
on both the protected site and the recovery site.
For readability, the example CSV file in the following table omits empty columns. The DNS Domain and
NetBIOS columns are omitted.
