A bit confused about networking with ip assignment

Hi, i’m trying OpenNebula 5.10 with 2 servers i read doc and installed Frontend on one server and kvm-host on the other, both servers are Debian 10.
FrontEnd : 192.168.0.30
KVM Host : 192.168.0.32 (called node01 with only one physical network card)
I Have succesfulyl added a host to the frontend

Then i have imported an appliance from marketplace (tty-linux-kvm) and it is now in my vm templates (on sunstone) as suggested here : https://docs.opennebula.org/5.10/deployment/node_installation/verify.html#verify-installation

What i dont understand is how to set an ip address automatically when i instantiate a VM, here is my network config on kvm host

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto enp5s0
allow-hotplug enp5s0
iface enp5s0 inet static
address 192.168.0.32
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

What i would like to do is that my VM gets, for example, 172.16.1.3 as ip address, im not sure about how to proceed.

Thank you for explanations

You need to set up a virtual network and make sure the VM you are trying to instantiate has a contextualized image. TTY Linux is q test VM in order to test your setup is able to instantiate VMs, try instead a contextualized virtual appliance from the marketplace, for example, alpine 3.10.
