Hi ,

I have created 2 virtual machines and it also created new public and private ips. It also created new virtual network .

I see same ip assigned to both vm1 and vm2

Public IP address - 172.178.136.79

Private IP address - 10.0.0.4

Public IP address - 172.178.137.211

Private IP address 10.0.0.4

Answer

Hi @Sumithrasaravana ,

if you create 2 VMs and during the configuration you choosed "Create new Virtual Network" a new vNet will be created for each machine. Both might have the same IP address range.

This explains why both VMs have the same private IP address.

But both VMs are not able to connect to each other because bot vNets aren't connected/peered. It's not possible to add a peering between the 2 vNets because they are using the same IP address range.
