2. In the Public network section, enable IP address management if needed and provide the required
details for the public network.
With IP address management enabled, Acronis Cyber Infrastructure will handle virtual machine IP
addresses and provide the following features:
• Allocation pools. You can specify ranges of IP addresses that will be automatically assigned to VMs.
• Built-in DHCP server. Assigns IP addresses to virtual machines. With the DHCP server enabled, VM
network interfaces will automatically be assigned IP addresses: either from allocation pools or, if
there are no pools, from network’s entire IP range. With the DHCP server disabled, VM network
interfaces will still get IP addresses, but you will have to manually assign them inside VMs.
• Custom DNS servers. You can specify DNS servers that will be used by VMs. These servers will be
delivered to virtual machines via the built-in DHCP server.
With IP address management disabled:
• VMs connected to a network will be able to obtain IP addresses from DHCP servers in that network.
• Spoofing protection will be disabled for all VM network ports. Each VM network interface will
accept all traffic, even frames addressed to other network interfaces.
In any case, you will be able to manually assign static IP addresses from inside VMs.
If you choose to enable IP address management, select a physical network to connect the public virtual
