Table 9. Custom Properties for Networking Configuration (Continued)
Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.PortID Specifies the port ID to use for network device N when using a
dvPort group with a vSphere distributed switch.
VirtualMachine.NetworkN custom properties are designed to
be specific to individual blueprints and machines. When a
machine is requested, network and IP address allocation is
performed before the machine is assigned to a reservation.
Because blueprints are not guaranteed to be allocated to a
specific reservation, do not use this property on a reservation.
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.ProfileName Specifies the name of a network profile from which to assign a
static IP address to network device Nor from which to obtain the
range of static IP addresses that can be assigned to network
device N of a cloned machine, where N=0 for the first device, 1
for the second, and so on.
If a network profile is specified in the network path in the
reservation on which the machine is provisioned, a static IP
address is assigned from that network profile. You can ensure
that a static IP address is assigned from a specific profile by
setting the value of this property to the name of a network
profile.

Appending a name allows you to create multiple versions of a
custom property. For example, the following properties might list
load balancing pools set up for general use and machines with
high, moderate, and low performance requirements:
n
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names
n
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names.moderate
n
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names.high
n
VCNS.LoadBalancerEdgePool.Names.low
Note In a multi-machine service, this custom property is
supported only for VM components with Routed Virtual Wire. It is
also not supported for pre-defined static IP addresses for VM
components in the context of a multi-machine blueprint.
Configures attributes of the network profile specified in
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.ProfileName.
