What's the best practise regarding IP ranges for migrating on-prem servers to Azure?
Thankyou Bryan Haslip This is useful.
My concern is what I should do with VMs that I migrate to Azure.
Right now the VMs have static Its set. After migration, I would need to change each one to be dynamic so I can set the IPs using Azure.
Alternatively, and this just crossed my mind, I add a second NIC to the VM and connect that to the appropriate VNet and finally remove the old NIC.
Would this work?
In this scenario if you are using Azure site recovery to replicate the VM's from on premise up to Azure part of the recovery process is Azure removes the static IP and sets it dynamic. What I would recommend is setting this static in the machine configuration pre-fail over. Alternatively you can fail the machine over then set it static and restart the VM. Please let me know if you have any questions or if that does not make sense.
Thanks again Bryan Haslip now it's clear.
I was missing the part where the recovery service removes the static IP. Now it makes much more sense.
Thanks again.
