same ip

I have 10 redhat 7 enterprise linux on my cluster. all redhat virtual machines 2 network adapters but on summary tab i see 3 ip address . Each virtual machines has the same ip address ( 192.168.122.1 ) Why this ip address is there ? I did not install the vm's. I think vm's created with  templates . are these virtual machines may not be vmware image ? Or these virtual servers may be redhat virtualization but based on VMware . I am not sure.. can you help me. Why do you have the same ip address on these servers

The linux could still be retaining the old network adapter information such as IP address, MAC address, etc as per this KB Networking does not work in a cloned Linux virtual machine (2002767) | VMware KB

If you did not customize during cloning, try to do a customization during cloning or deployment and see if that fix the issue: VMware vSphere 6.5 Documentation Library - Customize Linux During Cloning or Deployment

Looks like the IP from libvirt (KVM)

what does this mean. This virtual server is running on VMware. I did not fully understand the disadvantage

Default installation of RHEL 7 includes KVM, so a virtuell interface is created
