Table 2‑17. Custom Properties for Networking Configuration (Continued)
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.
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 designed to
be 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.
You can add this property to a vCloud Air or vCloud Director
machine component in a blueprint.
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.
