Hi all, Most of our systems are allocated IP addresses from the CIDR of the guest network which is defined at 10.X.X.0/24. Some of our VMs require a static IP address, so we allocate these manually on startup and specify the IPADDRESS attribute on the startup request (example : nic>ipaddress=10.X.X.254). Since the “static” ip addresses are assigned from the top end of the range and the “dynamic” ones are assigned starting from the bottom we didn’t have an issue initially. However with the number of VMs growning we not entered a phase where the address ranges overlap.
My question is what are the options for reserving certain addresses on the guest network for manual allocation. Is it sufficient to acquire the ip addresses, and will I be able to assign an acquired IP address to a VM on startup ?
