Table 5‑1. Custom Properties for Networking Configuration (Continued)
Custom Property Description
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.Network.N.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.
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.Name Specifies the name of the network to connect to, for example the
network device N to which a machine is attached.
By default, a network is assigned from the network paths
available on the reservation on which the machine is
provisioned.
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.
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.
You can add this property to a vApp (vCloud) blueprint or a vApp
(vCloud) Component 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.
