Table 2-11. Configuration Parameters in the new_vcsa Section, network Subsection (continued)
Name Type Description
ip string IP address for the appliance.
Required only if you use static assignment, that is, if you set the mode parameter
to
static
.
You must set an IPv4 or IPv6 address that corresponds to the network IP
version, that is, to the value of the ip.family parameter.
An IPv4 address must comply with the RFC 790 guidelines.
An IPv6 address must comply with the RFC 2373 guidelines.
dns_servers string or
array
IP addresses of one or more DNS servers.
To set more than one DNS server, use a comma-separated list of strings or a
comma-separated list as a single string to provide the path. For example,
["x.y.z.a", "x.y.z.b"]
or
"x.y.z.a, x.y.z.b"
Optional when the mode parameter is set to static. Not supported when mode
is set to
DHCP.
prefix string Network prefix length.
Use only if the mode parameter is set to static. Remove if the mode parameter is
set to
dhcp
.
The network prefix length is the number of bits that are set in the subnet mask.
For example, if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, there are 24 bits in the
binary version of the prefix length, so the network prefix length is 24.
For IPv4 version, the value must be between 0 and 32.
For IPv6 version, the value must be between 0 and 128.
gateway string IP address of the default gateway.
For IPv6 version, the value can be default.
