<title>Configuring Multiple IP Addresses on a Single NIC</title>
<para>&PRODUCT; now provides you the ability to associate multiple private IP addresses per guest
VM NIC. This feature is supported on all the network configurations&mdash;Basic, Advanced, and
VPC. Security Groups, Static NAT and Port forwarding services are supported on these additional
IPs. In addition to the primary IP, you can assign additional IPs to the guest VM NIC.</para>
