IP Address settings

When virtual machines are restored to a destination that uses a different network connection, you can specify parameters for IP address mapping. If source VMs running Windows or Linux use static IP addresses, you can configure IP address mappings for destination VMs.

• Source VM Settings

  Specify values for source VMs:

  • IP Address

    Enter a full IP address or an IP address pattern for source VMs.

    For Linux, you cannot enter an IP address pattern. You must enter the full IP address.

  • Subnet Mask

    Enter a full IP address or an IP address pattern for the subnet mask.

  • Default Gateway

    Enter a full IP address or an IP address pattern for the default gateway.

• Destination VM Settings

  Specify settings to be used for destination VMs:

  • Use DHCP

    Automatically assign available IP addresses to be used with the specified destination network.

  • IP Address

    Enter a full IP address or an IP address pattern for destination VMs.

    For Linux, you cannot enter an IP address pattern. You must enter the full IP address.

  • Subnet Mask

    Enter a full IP address or an IP address pattern for the subnet mask.

  • Default Gateway

    Enter a full IP address or an IP address pattern for the default gateway.

  • Preferred DNS Server

    Identify the primary DNS server for the destination.

  • Alternate DNS Server

    Identify a secondary DNS server for the destination.

  • Preferred WINS Server

    Identify the primary WINS server for the destination.

  • Alternate WINS Server

    Identify a secondary WINS server for the destination.

IP Address Mapping Examples

The following examples show how IP address settings can be used to remap addresses for a different destination network.

Example 1

With the following settings, IP addresses for source VMs are remapped if they match the pattern 172.20.10.* (for example, 172.20.10.5 would be mapped to 172.30.10.5).

Example 2

With the following settings, IP addresses for source VMs are remapped if they match the pattern 172.20.*.* (for example, 172.20.65.10 would be mapped to 172.30.65.10).
