5.7 Configuring the Maximum Number of IP Addresses Allowed for Each Network Interface on Target Workloads

You can specify multiple IP addresses per NIC on target workloads for migrations to VMware and the cloud (AWS, Azure, vCloud). By default, PlateSpin Migrate lets you specify up to four (4) IP addresses per NIC on the workload. PlateSpin Migrate controls this behavior by using the IpAddressesPerNetworkInterface parameter that is set to 4 by default. You can edit the value of this parameter to set the maximum number of IP addresses you want to specify per NIC.

The target platform might support more or fewer IP addresses per NIC than are allowed by this global limit. The lower limit is honored. For example, the maximum number of IP addresses per NIC that AWS supports depend on the AWS instance type. See AWS Documentation about the Elastic Network Interfaces.

To configure multiple IP addresses for NIC on the workload:

  1. Log in as Administrator to the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, then open the PlateSpin Server Configuration page at:

    https://Your_PlateSpin_Server/PlateSpinConfiguration/

  2. Search to locate the IpAddressesPerNetworkInterface parameter and set the value of this parameter to the maximum number of IP addresses you want to specify per NIC.

  3. Save your settings and exit the page.

    A reboot or restart of PlateSpin services is not required to apply the changes.
