    Parameter
    Description
    Network
    Select the network.
    The networks displayed in the drop-down menu depend on the network settings of the target server. If you are deploying the appliance directly on an
    ESXi
     host, non-ephemeral distributed virtual port groups are not supported and are not displayed in the drop-down menu.
    IP version
    Select the version for the appliance IP address.
    You can select either IPv4 or IPv6.
    IP assignment
    Select how to allocate the IP address of the appliance.
    • static
      The wizard prompts you to enter the IP address and network settings.
      Avoid using an IP address as a system name. If you use an IP address as a system name, you cannot change the IP address and update the DNS settings after deployment.
    • DHCP
      A DHCP server is used to allocate the IP address. Select this option only if a DHCP server is available in your environment.
    FQDN
    If you have an enabled DDNS in your environment, you can enter a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the appliance. If you enter a FQDN that exists, the installer warns you that this will cause an error in deployment unless you isolate the network that the appliance is on. For example, you can deploy the appliance on a different port group from the existing FQDN.
    IP address
    If you selected a static IP address, enter the IP address for the appliance. If you enter an IP address that exists, the installer warns you that this will cause an error in deployment unless you isolate the network that the appliance is on. For example, you can deploy the appliance on a different port group from the existing IP address.
    Subnet mask or prefix length
    Enter the subnet mask or prefix length for the IP address.
