b
Select
a
network
from
the
Network
drop
‐
down
menu.
The
available
options
are
based
on
the
networks
in
the
virtual
machine
template.
If
you
have
access
to
other
networks
in
Lab Manager,
you
can
add
them
to
the
configuration
and
they
will
appear
here.
See
“Add
a
Network
to

c
Specify
a
primary
NIC.
The
primary
NIC
setting
determines
the
default
and
only
gateway
for
the
virtual
machine.
The
virtual
machine
can
use
any
NIC
to
connect
to
other
machines
that
are
directly
connected
to
the
same
network
as
the
NIC,
but
it
can
only
use
the
primary
NIC
to
connect
to
machines
on
networks
that
require
a
gateway
connection.
Consider
this
behavior
when
selecting
a
primary
NIC,
especially
if
you
plan
to
deploy
configurations
that
use
fencing
or
connect
virtual
networks
to
physical
networks.
d
Select
an
IP
addressing
mode
for
the
network.
The
available
options
are
based
on
the
IP
addressing
modes
available

the
selected
network.
Static
‐
IP
Pool
pulls
static
IP
addresses
from
the
IP
address
pool.
DHCP
pulls
IP
addresses
from
a
DHCP
server.
This
option
avoids
the
preparation
and
specification
of
an
IP
address
or
IP
range.
However,
you
cannot
use
Lab Manager
fencing
or
connect
virtual
networks
to
physical
networks
with
DHCP.
Static
‐
Manual
allows
you
to
specify
an
IP
address.
e
If
you
selected
Static
‐
Manual
,
type
an
IP
address
in
the
IP
Address
text
box.
