Virtual Lab: VM has production IP address

[Kingstone]

Hi guys,
I'm creating my first virtual lab, but suprisingly my VM spinning up in the virtual lab pick the production IPs. My ping tests also fail. Is there anything I'm missing?

Hi Kingstone,

Treat production IP of your VM as a private IP address in your isolated virtual lab. VM should be also getting masquerade IP to be accessible from your production environment. Have you configured proxy appliance for your virtual lab? In this case, it acts as a NAT device translating masquerade IP into production one and routing traffic between environments.

The whole idea of the virtual lab is to have it completely identical to the production environment, including IP addresses.
