Table 1‑18. Custom Properties for Networking Conﬁguration (Continued)

Custom Property Description

VirtualMachine.NetworkN.MacAddressType

Indicates whether the MAC address of network device N is

generated or user-defined (static). This property is available for

cloning.

The default value is generated. If the value is static, you must

also use VirtualMachine.NetworkN.MacAddress to specify

the MAC address.

VirtualMachine.NetworkN custom properties are 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. This

property is not supported for on-demand NAT or on-demand

routed networks.

VirtualMachine.NetworkN.MacAddress

Specifies the MAC address of a network device N. This property

is available for cloning.

If the value of VirtualMachine.NetworkN.MacAddressType is

generated, this property contains the generated address.

If the value of VirtualMachine.NetworkN.MacAddressType is

static, this property specifies the MAC address. For virtual

machines provisioned on ESX server hosts, the address must

be in the range specified by VMware. For details, see vSphere

documentation.
