section, you can select and update the
method of IP address allocation. This is the place where you can override the IP
allocation choices made in the initialization wizard described in the
VMware Lab

option allows Lab Manager to pull static IP addresses from a
pool originally set up during the initialization wizard or set in the
Static IP
Settings
section of this tab. The maximum number of IP addresses you can add at
one time is 1024.
Lab Manager uses the network settings for unfenced virtual machines and the
external IP addresses of fenced virtual machines. For details on Lab Manager
fencing, see
“Network Fencing”
on page 171.
The
Static (Manual)
option allows you to specify an IP address. Lab Manager uses
the network settings for unfenced virtual machines and the external IP addresses
