Changing network interfaces manually
If you restore to a dissimilar system and do not discover or save the target system's configuration, you can manually change original configuration interface properties for a restore.
You must first determine the MAC addresses of the NICs in the target system.
To change an interface manually
- Right-click an interface in the New Network Information window and select Change from the shortcut menu.
- In the Map or change interface dialog box, select Use DHCP (if using DHCP). Because this action is an interface change, the dialog box includes the Hardware MAC Address field.
Go to step 5.
- Select a row of attributes in the Attributes for Network Interface window and click Change.
- In the Add Network Identity dialog box, enter the IP address, netmask, and fully qualified domain name from the interface on the protected system.
Then click OK.
- Enter the hardware MAC address of the NIC in the target system.
- Click OK.
The MAC address and network identity are changed. The name of the interface is not changed, but it does not affect the restore.
