17.5 Configuring the DHCP Service for Target VMs

You can use DHCP services to get IP address information for the target workload, or specify a static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the VM to use.

The Use DHCP to get network address details setting is enabled by default. Deselect the check box to specify a static IP address, then specify the network address settings for the target network.

  • IP Address: IPv4 format.

  • Subnet Mask: IPv4 format.

  • Default Gateway: IPv4 format.

    NOTE:Only the primary NIC can provide the default gateway address if you use DHCP to get network address details.

NOTE:If the source workload or target workload is located in a different internal (private) network behind a network address translation (NAT) device, it might be unable to communicate with its counterpart to replicate the workload. On the affected workload, ensure that you specify a public IP address for the NIC you use for replication.
