Import OVA and configure static IP address

This task is for
CylanceHYBRID
instances that need to use a static IP address. If DHCP is used, see Import OVA and configure DHCP.
This example procedure uses the VMware vSphere Client to import the OVA and configure a static IP address. If you are using VMware ESXi 6.7 or later, or are using VMware ESXi 6.5 managed by vCenter Server 6.x, you can use the following procedure or the VMware OVF tool to import the OVA and configure a static IP address. If you are using a stand-alone version of VMware ESXi 6.5, the Customize Template screen in this procedure does not display so you will need to use the VMware OVF Tool to import the OVA and configure a static IP address. For information about using the VMware OVF Tool, see Configure a Static IP using the OVF Tool.
