Custom Property Description
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Name
Specifies the name of the network to connect to, for example the
network device N to which a machine is attached. This is
equivalent to a network interface card (NIC).
By default, a network is assigned from the network paths
available on the reservation on which the machine is
provisioned. Also see
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.AddressType and
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.ProfileName.
You can ensure that a network device is connected to a specific
network by setting the value of this property to the name of a
network on an available reservation. For example, if you give
properties for N= 0 and 1, you get 2 NICs and their assigned
value, provided the network is selected in the associated
reservation.
VirtualMachine.NetworkN custom properties are specific to
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. This property is not
supported for on-demand NAT or on-demand routed networks.
For an example of how to use this custom property to
dynamically set VirtualMachine.Network0.Name based on a
consumer's selection from a list of predefined available
networks, see the Adding a Network Selection Drop-Down in
vRA 7 blog post.
For related information, see Custom Properties for Networking.
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.AddressType
Specifies how IP address allocation is supplied to the network
provider, where NetworkN is the network number, starting with 0.
The following values are available:
n
DHCP
n
Static
n
MANUAL (available for vCloud Air and vCloud Director only)
This property is available for configuring vCloud Air,
vCloud Director, and vSphere machine components in the
blueprint. Also see VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Name. This
property is not supported for on-demand NAT or on-demand
routed networks.
