Network requirements

• Static IPv4 address is assigned to each VM. No DHCP is used.
• A static IPv4 address is allocated and reserved prior to its usage.
• The IPv4 address is an IP in a private network that has egress-only access to Internet.
• In addition to IPv4 address, the Gateway, Prefix Length, DNS Suffixes, and DNS Servers need to be obtained prior to the deployment.
• Managed services instance is deployed in the same private network, so deploying from Managed services Instance to VMware environment is truly through private networking.
• The virtual machine must have a connection to the internet for the duration of the configuration process.
