Internet or network after the device is imaged and rebooted.
IP addresses available for machines: According to the information you provide in this
section, this list box displays the available IP addresses for your devices to use.
Start and end of IP address range: Do either of the following:
Specify one IP address at a time in the first field and click Add each time to place it
into the list box.
Specify a range of IP addresses and click Add to place them into the list box. Each IP
address in a range is listed independently, allowing you to selectively remove any of
them from within the range.
You can select multiple IP addresses for removal.
IP addresses currently assigned: This display-only list box shows which IP addresses
from the IP Addresses Available for Machines list have been assigned to a device. When
they are displayed here, they are no longer displayed in the list box above.
After a device is imaged, IP settings are applied to the device. The IP address that is
assigned to the imaged device is no longer in the available list, but is instead listed in this
currently assigned list.
5 Click either Apply or OK to save the changes.

29.4.4 Configuring Preboot Work Assignments

This section allows you to set up Preboot work assignments for your defined bundles for non-
registered devices, or registered devices that do not have an effective bundle defined.
In this section of the Preboot Services page, you can set up rules for your Preboot bundles. Work
assignment rules are hardware keys used to determine which bundle should be applied to which
device. When a device is seeking work to be done, it scans the rules until it finds a rule where all of
the rule's filters match the device, then executes the bundle assigned to the rule.
For more information, see
To configure work assignment rules:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Configuration tab, which displays the following
Management Zone Settings section:
Section 28.3.5, "Preboot Work Assignment Rules," on page
327.
