Ovf_IpAllocationParams_IpAllocationPolicy
The IpAllocationParams.IpAllocationPolicy enumerated type defines the possible IP allocation policy for a deployment.
DHCP : Specifies that DHCP will be used to allocate IP addresses.
TRANSIENT_IPPOOL : Specifies that IP addresses are allocated from an IP pool. The IP addresses are allocated when needed, typically at power-on, and deallocated during power-off. There is no guarantee that a property will receive same IP address when restarted.
STATIC_MANUAL : Specifies that IP addresses are configured manually upon deployment, and will be kept until reconfigured or the virtual appliance destroyed. This ensures that a property gets a consistent IP for its lifetime.
STATIC_IPPOOL : Specifies that IP addresses are allocated from the range managed by an IP pool. The IP addresses are allocated at first power-on, and remain allocated at power-off. This ensures that a virtual appliance gets a consistent IP for its life-time.
