Property Description
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.ProfileName
Specifies the name of a network profile from
which to assign a static IP address to network
device N or from which to obtain the range of
static IP addresses that can be assigned to
network device N of a cloned machine, where
N=0 for the first device, 1 for the second, and so
on.
If a network profile is specified in the network
path in the reservation on which the machine is
provisioned, a static IP address is assigned from
that network profile. You can ensure that a static
IP address is assigned from a specific profile by
setting the value of this property to the name of a
network profile.
Note that changing this property value after the
network is assigned has no effect on the
expected IP address values for the designated
machines.
With WIM-based provisioning for virtual
machines, you can use this property to specify a
network profile and network interface or you can
use the Network section of the Virtual
Reservation page. You can also assign the
network interface to a virtual network using the
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Name custom
property.
The following attributes of the network profile are
available to enable static IP assignment in a
cloning blueprint:
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.SubnetMask
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Gateway
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.PrimaryDns
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.SecondaryDns

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.
