It would be nice if you could optionally connect using an IP address instead of the name.

Some PowerCLI commands:

(Get-VM -Name insert_vmware_name_here).Guest.Nics | fl

Returns something like:

Connected : True
Device : Network adapter 1
IPAddress : {fe80::aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd, 192.168.101.100}
MacAddress : 00:50:56:9a:97:5c
NetworkName : VM Network

Connected : True
Device : Network adapter 2
IPAddress : {fe80::aaaa:bbbb:cccc:eeee, 192.168.102.200}
MacAddress : 00:50:56:9a:6f:f1
NetworkName : 102 Management Network


You can also query all available networks (VirtualPortGroups) to choose a preferred interface in advance in case there are several.
Furthermore, it would be good if you could change this later in the properties of an entry (select box with available interfaces).
Of course, this selection should be retained when you synchronize again.

Get-VirtualPortGroup -Host "name_of_host"

Name Key VLanId PortBinding NumPorts
---- --- ------ ----------- --------
VM Network key-vim.host.PortGroup-VM N... 0
102 Management Network key-vim.host.PortGroup-102 ... 102

Hello,

What we could do with an option is put the "primary" IP in the host field of the entry, and put the other IP addresses in the "alternate host" field (in an RDP entry, under the "more" tab). The alternate hosts can be prompted for selection on open. What do you think?

Hello,

We've added the possibility to connect RDP connection via an IP address instead of host name. When the connection type is set to RDP, a new option appears in the "settings" tab.
This should do the trick.

This is available in RDM 2020.1.10
