How to set ip for vm from outside
I need to set ip from outside of virtual machine.
Now we use dhcp server to bind static ip with their MAC.
But when the number of vms is larger and large, that's not easy for administer.
I want to make one interface for the clients to set the ip of the vm when creating it.

By now, i know i can mount the vm disk and config the network setting before creating the vm.
there is one problem for that, the vm disk type may be various, and sometimes they may have totally different partition structure, and may be including LVM,etc. Besides this, i don't know whether it is possible to config ip for Windows operating system with this method.

I don't know how they do this, i mean those Virtual-machine product, like Vmware.

Thanks, any help is appreciated.
