Applying IP addresses

You can specify the IP addresses to apply to the target computers. If you are setting up a configuration set template, you can specify a range of IP addresses. The computers in the target group are assigned consecutive addresses starting from the beginning of the range.

You can choose between DHCP or static IP address. This choice must match the image file when the configuration change is part of a cloning task. A static IP address can be applied to a client computer only if the client has a static address when the configuration task is run. However, for a task that only changes the configuration, this setting must match the setting currently on the target computer.

Note: You must ensure that the address range for a template is consistent with the number of computers in the target computer group. If the range is too small, the configuration task fails.

To apply IP addresses

1.

In the Properties for <Configuration set name> window, in the left pane, click TCP/IP Settings.

2.

Specify whether the target computers use dynamic or static IP addresses.

If you are using static IP addresses, follow the next three steps to specify the address information.

3.

If you want to assign new IP addresses to the target computers, check Apply IP Address.

4.

If you are setting up a configuration for a single computer, type the IP address.

If you are setting up a configuration template, in the From and To boxes, type the IP address range for a computer group.

5.

In the Subnet Mask box, type the subnet mask.
