Hyper-V Default switch IP address range change. Ver 1809 Build 17763.1
Can one confirm IP address range changed to 192.168.X.Y Subnet 255.255.255.240 from 172.X.X.X Also changes the subnet randomly on every Hyper-V services startup. 192.168.X.Y . X can change from 5...
Do you have any idea how to get this ip fixed ? Maybe we can run powershell script to change it after reboot ?
---------------------
Just tried to update IP on reboot with powershell script, it's ok to keep same IP , but the network doesn't
work for VMs.This is not way.
I haven't actually played around with all of my VM's yet. However - 1903 has fixed one of the Hyper-V Default Switch problems:
The Default Switch would always be set as a public network - this can be disruptive to other connected networks - as I don't trust that the MS Engineers did a good job with how Domain/Private/Public interact.
With 1903 - the Default Switch is not assigned a Network Category. Which is how it should have been to begin with.
It is always going to be a private network - as VM's can only use it to interact with other VM's on the Host and to the Host itself.. an Internal Network. Like I said... I don't trust the engineers to have done the network categories correctly, until now. Took 4 years.
Anyhow, I'm in the middle of updating the VM's on my laptop to 1903 and see what I can do in the Guest Machine.
