Why do we need network virtualization?

We need to think about Server Virtualization first if we want to talk about Network Virtualization. In the era of cloud computing, servers are virtualized and used in Data Centers. We are facing a lot of problem when we virtualized our Servers, 1) Routing and Switching Problem Routing become the issue when we create Virtual Switch and VLANs according to production requirement. Network Team might need some time to change on their end to meet with Server Virtualization Team changes on their end. ၂) Firewall Services Physical Firewall are difficult to manage due to the large number of rules needed to satisfy business requirements.

Fixing IP address already assigned to another adapter error in VMware

Sometime, you could see below error when you need to modify or add IP address on existing network adapter of your VM. According to VMware support this error can occur also if - You have upgraded VMware virtual network adapters (for example, when you migrate a virtual machine from an older to a new version of VMware software). - You have added and removed network adapters multiple times. - You may see this if you recently performed a P2V and the resulting virtual machine still has the physical NICs and drivers for those NICs present. These ghost NICs have the old IP address and the virtual NIC cannot be assigned the same IP address. This issue occurs if a network adapter with the same IP address is in the Windows registry but is hidden in the Device Manager (My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager). This hidden adapter is called a ghosted network adapter. Using the Show hidden devices option in the Device Manager (View > Show hidden devices) does not ...
