Hi Ajay There is an option to specify the ip addres during the import of vm from vmware. Please find the screenshot link.
I would suggest to create a isolated network in cloudstack ( 192.4.xxx.0/24) and import the vm by specifying the ip https://prnt.sc/3yEs5-_cazBh Please go through the documentation on networking in cloudstsack https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.20.1.0/adminguide/networking.html Regards Kiran From: Ajay Sishodia <ajay.sisho...@ericsson.com.INVALID> Date: Tuesday, 1 July 2025 at 10:26 AM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org <users@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: help with networking with no dhcp for guest VMs Hi, I am trying to setup a cloudstack environment. One of the requirements is to import VMware VMs to cloudstack. We would like to just import the VMware VM and keep the existing IP addresses. Some simple google search suggests to create a new networking offering and select no dhcp for the virtual router. This translate to no virtual router for our environment as I understand it. I have created a network offering with none of the virtual router services selected. I am not sure how to configure the networking while creating a zone. For example our VMware VMs are in 192.4.xxx.0/24 network. One management host (management1) 2 compute nodes (compute1 and compute1). Management1 - eth0 - 192.4.xxx.0/24 Management - eth1 - 128.96.yyy.0/24 Compute1 - eth0 - 192.4.xxx.0/24 Compute1 - eth1 - 128.96.yyy.0/24 Compute2 - eth0 - 192.4.xxx.0/24 Compute2 - eth1 - 128.96.yyy.0/24 Please suggest how I configure the guest, management, public, storage traffic. We will use the guest network same as the public network so 192.4.xxx./24 will carry public and guest traffic with no VLANs (as we would like to keep the same IP of the VMs as on VMware VMs). Please suggest how should I lay out my network configuration. I am not sure If I can post images in this email as I would like to post the GUI image of each step while creating a new zone. We are using the latest stable cloudstack 4.20.zz. For starters, I created a network offering using the UI with none of the virtual router services selected. Used an IP range from 192.4.xxx.0/24 subnet. But when adding a guest network by selecting the no-dhcp serive offering it again asked for an range of IP and when I tried using a different IP range from 192.4.xxx.0/24 subnet it said error overlapping IP address. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Regards, Ajay
