ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE"
ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
ethernet0.linkStatePropagation.enable = "TRUE"
ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:80:c6:90"
ethernet1.present = "TRUE"
ethernet1.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet1.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE"
ethernet1.addressType = "generated"
ethernet1.linkStatePropagation.enable = "TRUE"
ethernet1.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:80:c6:a0"

- Open VMWARE Workstation 8.0 and then click on "Open a Virtual Machine".

- Controller will boot up and come to normal login screen.

- Login to the Controller and run "setup" command to do the basic setup(like ip address, DNS, time etc.)

- Controller should be accessible over the network now with the ip address that we assigned while running "setup".
