Assign IP Addresses to the Network Connections

In the guest operating system, assign an IPv4 address, subnet mask, and default gateway to the Management network connection.

If you are using the VMware vSwitch, configure the Monitor network connection with a non-routable IP address. When using a non-routable IP address, you do not need to specify a default gateway assignment.

Make a note of the IP addresses that you assign to the NICs. You will need this information to add the CA Virtual Systems Monitor to the management console.

Follow these steps:

1. On the Windows desktop, click the Start menu, and click Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, click Network Connections.
3. Right-click Management, and click Properties.
4. On the General tab, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then Properties.
5. Click Use the following IP address, and type an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Click OK.
6. Repeat these steps for the Monitor network connection, but specify a non-routable IP address and subnet mask, and do not specify a default gateway. We suggest the following values:

   Monitor 1

   IP address: 1.1.0.1

   Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0
