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.
