    • IPV4, IPv6

    NOTE:

    • For multihoming requirements, configure two network interfaces with the SSMC appliance.

    • To remove the IP address from the selected network device, select Remove network configuration.

  7. Select Internet Protocol Type.

    Static: If selected, specify IP address.

    DHCP: If selected, automatically provides IP address.
