You can configure how the Configuration Manager 2007 client will obtain an IP address on the General tab. There is no limit to how many IP addresses that can be configured. This setting is useful if this computer connects to a single physical network but requires advanced IP addressing because of either of the following reasons:
- A single logical IP network is in use and the
computer needs to use more than one IP address to communicate on
that network.
- Multiple logical IP networks are in use and
the computer needs a different IP address to communicate with each
of the different logical IP networks.
You can configure the following settings:
