¶ Static Leases
For a VergeIO Network with Dynamic DHCP enabled, IP addresses will be assigned automatically. For Virtual Machines where it’s advantageous to ensure the same address is always assigned, you can create a static IP address assigned to the associated MAC address.
¶ A Static Address can be assigned 2 different ways:
Change a Dynamic Entry to Static:
- After the VM has already received a DHCP address and currently still holds the lease, designate the address to be static from now on.
Create a New Static Entry:
- Create a new IP Address entry, specifying the MAC address from the VM Nic and the desired IP address.
¶ To Change a Dynamic entry to Static:
- From the Network’s Dashboard, click IP Addresses on the left menu.
- Find the DHCP address, appearing in the IP Addresses listing as type “Dynamic”.
- Double-click the entry and change the Type to Static.
- Click Submit to save the change.
¶ To Create a New Static Entry:
- Obtain MAC address for the server (within guest OS or from the VM Dashboard-NICs section.)
- Click New from the left menu.
- In the Type field, select Static.
- Enter the desired IP Address.
Make sure to assign an IP address that is within the Network’s address range and not used by another VM on this Network.
- Enter the MAC Address for the server.
- Enter the Hostname of the server
- Optionally, a Description can be entered to record additional administrative information.
- Click Submit.
