This page is for adding a new network interface to a virtual system, or
for changing the settings for an existing interface. When adding, you must
complete the following fields :
- Host system interface
- The interface on the parent host system that this new virtual interface
will be created under. Typically you will want to stick with the primary
ethernet connection, like eth0 or bge0.
- IP address
- If Allocate automatically is selected, Cloudmin will select a free IP
address from the range defined for the host system. Otherwise, you can
enter an IP of your choice - just make sure that it is not allocated to
any other system.
- Netmask
- Can generally be left un-changed, unless you need to use a mask different
from that of the host system's primary network interface.
