Management ip address in ESXi 6/7

Hi I installed ESXi 6.7. During the process, I cannot see option to configure management ip address. also i found the link below. It also show no option to setup manangement ip address. Is this correct? The ip address is dynamic ip address. I want to change it to static. Anyone can provide suggestion? Thanks

Ok so the link you posted only covers the initial installation process, you don't configure the IP address at this point.

Once the installation completes and the server reboots, you then need to log into the DCUI console (see image below), either in-person or remotely (via an iDRAC or similar). Once you have logged in, you then follow the guide that @e_espinel posted above to configure a static IP address 👍
