Casper Suite Administrator's Guide v8.7 - JAMF Software

Computer-Specific Network Settings
In order to change the network settings for a computer, Casper Imaging must be able to locate a network
configuration that has the same settings (for instance, manually, using DHCP with a manual IP address,
using DHCP, or using BootP) as the computer.
For example, if a computer requires a manually entered IP address, the configuration must require the
same.
If only a few computers require a certain network configuration (or your OS package does not have one
of the network configuration types listed in Casper Imaging), you can build a package that contains the
following file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
You should take this file from a computer that has the network configuration type you are looking for, such
as manually or using DHCP with a manual IP address.
This section explains how to:
