Ok, so that answers my question to. If I assign it an IP in the deploy step or 
assign it via the NIC in the instance properties it just does a DHCP 
reservation. In most instances that as good as static. Thank you Simon.

Marty,


I'm not sure whether a scan in performed or not. DHCP uses dnsmasq, so a static 
entry is configured in the VR for each VM to keep the ip address reserved for 
that VM. You can pass in an ipaddress in the deployvirtualmachine call and that 
may achieve what you want to achieve. This is exposed in the GUI as well when 
you create a VM.

Quick question. If DHCP is enabled on a network, and I statically assign an IP, 
does the VR do a scan periodically to exclude static address since there is not 
a way, that I know of, to modify the DHCP scope.
