IP address showing on Config-NetworkAdapter-Networks

[Tecnics]

Hi, does anyone know what is the IP address showing on Config-NetworkAdapter-Networks?

Thanx

It's a network hint - basically what IP range ESX is able to see from broadcast traffic. It does not dictate what IP range you have to limit your VMs to and if can be inaccurate if you have a number of VLANs that are connected vswitch that the NIC is a part of.

Thank you very much for your reply Dave.

" if can be inaccurate if you have a number of VLANs"

Is this a bug?

Will it be fixed in the future or already fixed in new version ?

Thanx

I'm not sure it's considered a bug. It's based on broadcasts so it can only be as good as what is broadcast. There's some good comments from VMware employees on these threads -

Thanx for reply again Dave.

I understand it is best effort function.

Thank you for your help.
