Name Type Description
dns.servers
string or
array
IP addresses of one or more DNS servers for the temporary network of the new
appliance.
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"
Required only if you use static network mode for the temporary IP address allocation,
that is, if you set the mode parameter to static.
prefix
string Network prefix length for the temporary network of the new appliance.
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 the temporary network of the new appliance.
For IPv6 version, the value can be default.
system.name
string Primary network identity for the temporary network of th new appliance.
Can be an IP address or FQDN, preferably FQDN.
The FQDN and dotted-decimal numbers must comply with the RFC 1123 guidelines.
