PXE Boot ESXi how do I set the ESXi IP address?

[AdStar]

I'm able to get ESXi U4 booting just nice from PXE, but the main screen comes up saying you can grab the vi client from http://0.0.0.0

How can I pre-set the IP address that ESXi will use when it boots from PXE?

Cheers

I don't know too much about ESXi, however, I'm not to sure you'd be able to configure an IP addy by means of a config that's shot over the PXE boot.

I think ultimately what you would need to do is have a DHCP server setup with a reservation for that box's MAC address?

Again, I don't know too much, but just a thought.

Thats what I thought, Once ESXi booted I figured it would just request an IP from DHCP but I'm getting no requests from the box...
