Hi all,
Before following the below article to deploy the new vSphere Replication 8.1 OVF, on the networking step, can anybody clarify how it actually gets a temporary IP address? Do I have to initially assign it a temporary IP if I set the IP allocation to static?

Networking: <The best option is to select the same VLAN/Network as your old vSphere Replication is running in since it needs SSH access to the old appliance in order to copy all of the information to the new appliance. Choose DHCP or Static for your IP allocation, whichever suits you the best. But keep in mind this newly deployed vSphere Replication appliance first gets a temporary IP address, copies all of the data over from the old appliance to the new one via SSH. After completion, it powers off the source/old appliance and changes the IP address of new appliance to the IP address of the old appliance. It’s actually the same method that is being used when you upgrade your vCenter Server or Platform Services Controller appliances.
