Should be:

<ipaddr>192.168.1.132</ipaddr>
<netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask>

Put the MAC address of your NIC where <?=$mac ?> is. E.g. aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff

Then the NIC with the MAC address you specified will be assigned the 
device name eth0 regardless if it is the first or second NIC, and will 
use 192.168.1.132
At least with older OpenSuse versions. Broken in the new one.

<?=$variable ?> is PHP code.
Only use that when you use a central webserver to dynamically generate 
autoyast files for the servers being provisioned.

The address is statically assigned. So you don't need DHCP after 
installation.
You do need a DHCP server during installation, if you want to perform a 
PXE network installation.
