Problem in assigning static ipv4 address to azure Microsoft server 2016

Question

Hi,

I want to assign the static ipv4 address to my window server 2016 for my assignment.

I had already change it in azure portal under networking tab. but inside the server 2016, it is still assigned by DHCP. I tried do it manually giving my own IP address but the connection to my machine gets lost.

I want to show my IP address as shown in the marker in picture.

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to static IP assign to Azure VM.

Please make sure you have configure Subnet in Azure portal and assign IP range to subnet pool.

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you would like to assign a static IP to your Azure VM.

Please note that, for any Azure VM, changing the IP assigned via OS is not recommended.

This would result in misconfig between the Platform assigned IP and OS configured IP and would break the VM.

You have to use the Portal to configure any IP/DNS changes.

• Navigate to the VM
• Go to the Networking tab and Click on the NIC of the VM
• In the NIC, go to IP Configurations Tab.
• Click on the Ipconfig which you would like to set as Static
• Under "Assignment", select Static and set the appropriate IP from the subnet.
• Refer : Change IP address settings

Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

Thanks,

Kapil
