Table 9.4. Console settings

Field Name
Description
Override display address
Select this check box to enable overriding the display addresses of the host. This feature is useful in a case where the hosts are defined by internal IP and are behind a NAT firewall. When a user connects to a virtual machine from outside of the internal network, instead of returning the private address of the host on which the virtual machine is running, a public IP or FQDN (which is resolved in the external network to the public IP) is returned.
Display address
The display address specified here will be used for all virtual machines running on this host. The address must be in the format of a fully qualified domain name or IP.
