Configure the CrashPlan PRO Server system settings in the admin console, most commonly accessible using VMware Server’s admin console or the console of your local VMware Workstation.
CrashPlan PRO Server comes configured for DHCP. You can use the console CLI to set a static IP address after boot. The MAC address used by CrashPlan PRO Server is displayed in the status banner upon boot.
Inspect both the running configuration and the new configuration where you made changes.
