Second IP on single NIC

I am working with a Blueprint for my dev team. They need a web server that and we currently use a single NIC / multiple IP setup in Production. So, I need to provide this in my vRealize resource.

I discovered this property: VirtualMachine.NetworkN.AddressM

Is this useful for this problem and if so at what point do I apply it? I attempted to use it as a custom property on the Network tab of the Blueprint.

Please help

You should be able to use a Property Group or Custom Properties on the Properties tab in the blueprint. Depending on other task you are performing during the deployment, guest agents in your template may also be required. There's an article here showing the network custom properties:

Thanks for the effort, but this doesn't provide my desired solution.

What I want to do is have vRa apply two IP addresses from 1 pool on 1 NIC.

For instance, 192.168.1.25 and 192.168.1.26 would both be applied to a single NIC.

Your article explains how to add two NICs.

Do you know a way to apply two IPs to one NIC from one pool?
