5.7 Configuring Multiple IP Addresses for the Network Interface on Windows Workloads

You can specify multiple IP addresses per NIC on Windows workloads for migrations to VMware and the cloud (AWS, Azure, vCloud). By default, PlateSpin Migrate lets you specify four IP addresses per NIC on the Windows workload. PlateSpin Migrate controls this behavior by using the IpAddressesPerNetworkInterface parameter that is set to 4 by default. You can edit the value of this parameter to set the number of IP addresses you want to specify per NIC. For example, the maximum number of IP addresses per NIC that AWS supports depend on the AWS instance type. See AWS Documentation about the Elastic Network Interfaces.

To configure multiple IP addresses for NIC on Windows workload:

  1. Log in as Administrator to the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, then open the PlateSpin Server Configuration page at:

    https://Your_PlateSpin_Server/PlateSpinConfiguration/

  2. Search to locate the IpAddressesPerNetworkInterface parameter and set the value of this parameter to the number of IP addresses you want to specify per NIC.

  3. Save your settings and exit the page.

    A reboot or restart of PlateSpin services is not required to apply the changes.
