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 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.
- 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.
- 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).
Settings | Source VM | Destination VM |
---|---|---|
IP Address | 172.20.10.* | 173.30.10.* |
Subnet Mask | 255.255.255.0 | 255.255.255.0 |
Default Gateway | 172.20.1.* | 172.30.1.* |
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).
Settings | Source VM | Destination VM |
---|---|---|
IP Address | 172.20.*.* | 172.30.*.* |
Subnet Mask | 255.255.0.0 | 255.255.0.* |
Default Gateway | 172.20.1.* | 172.30.1.* |
