IP Configuration

This property page specifies how to assign the IP address when imaging a workstation by this policy, if no IP address information is found in the workstation's image-safe data.

A workstation is imaged by this policy if it hasn't been registered as an object in NDS® and if it boots in auto-imaging mode and connects to an imaging server that is associated with this policy. For details, see ZENworks for Desktops Deployment > For more information, see the ZENworks for Desktops online documentation at http://www.novell.com/documentation

Obtain an IP Address Using DHCP
Specifies to configure the workstation to get an IP address dynamically through DHCP. Select this option only if DHCP is working on your network.

Specify an IP Address
Specifies to assign the workstation a static IP address using the information given below.

Subnet Mask
Specifies the subnet mask to be used by the workstation. For example, 255.255.252.0
Default Gateway
Specifies the IP address of the gateway to be used by the workstation. For example, 137.65.95.254
IP Addresses
Lists the IP addresses from which to assign the workstation a static IP address. These addresses are used one at a time in the order listed as workstations are imaged by this policy, if no IP address information is found in the workstation's image-safe data. Once an address has been used, it is moved from this list to the IP Assignment Log page. Once the addresses are used up, workstations are no longer assigned an IP address from this list if no IP address information is found in their image-safe data; they receive whatever IP address is embedded in the image that is laid down, which could be a duplicate address.
