| + | You can use an [[:embed|embedded script]] (or the ''[[:cfg:scriptlet]]'' setting) to avoid the use of DHCP. For example, if you define the GuestInfo settings: | ||

| + | guestinfo.ipxe.net0.ip = "192.168.0.15" | ||
| + | guestinfo.ipxe.net0.netmask = "255.255.255.0" | ||

| + | guestinfo.ipxe.dns = "192.168.0.1" | ||
| + | |||
| + | and use the embedded script: | ||
| + | |||
| + | #!ipxe | ||
| + | | ||
| + | ifopen net0 | ||
| + | chain ${filename} | ||
| + | |||
| + | then the virtual machine will be able to boot using the static IP address configured in the ''.vmx'' file. | ||
