[PVE-User] DHCP for non cloudinit VM

[Mark Adams]

What sort of OS are you using for VM's, that does not default to having
DHCP enabled? I personally can't think of one that isn't DHCP out of the
box.

As for using specific IP's based on MAC address, this would be easily set
in the dhcp server config?
