Hi all

Feature request for natnetwork:

https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08. ... natnetwork

--dhcp-start

Start of IP range

--dhcp-end

End of IP range

--dhcp-random

Provide random IP's rather that starting from start


Why?

When staging VM's using System Center Configuration Manager / SCCM .. the client IP is delivered to the server (even though it's hidden behind NAT). As the DHCP server is starting with the same IP for all users (when multiple users are using Virtualbox), then the SCCM server seems to be pushing data to only one client - even though multiple client may be in a staging process.

Just realized that "dhcpserver modify" actually does most of the job.

VBoxManage dhcpserver modify --network=netname --lower-ip=address --upper-ip=address

But an option for random IP's would be great.
