Hi David, Here is a snipet from the VM's JSON:
"nics": [
{
"interface": "net0",
"mac": "32:e0:8a:0f:98:99",
"nic_tag": "vswitch6",
"ip": "dhcp",
"netmask": "255.255.255.0",
"model": "virtio",
"primary": true
},
...
The IP is set to dhcp (I used vmadm update to change that to dhcp). I've change
this from a specific
IP setting. I want to get rid of the remnant netmask wherein lies my problem.
Thanks,
Tom
