The numbering of network properties must be sequential, starting with 0. For example, if you specify

custom properties for only VirtualMachine.Network0 and VirtualMachine.Network2, the properties

for VirtualMachine.Network2 are ignored, because the preceding network,

VirtualMachine.Network1, was not specified.

Table 2‑17. Custom Properties for Networking Conﬁguration

Custom Property Description

VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Address

Specifies the IP address of network device N in a machine

provisioned with a static IP address.

For Amazon, see Amazon.elasticIpAddress.ipAddress.

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 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.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.
