Hello @Jain Navin Kumar

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

The error message you provided indicates that the DHCP is not enabled and there is no response from the well-known fabric address.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

Check if the VM Agent is running by executing the command systemctl status waagent. If it is not running, start the VM Agent by executing the command systemctl start waagent.

Check if the VM Agent is up to date by executing the command waagent -version. If it is not up to date, update the VM Agent by following the instructions in this document: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/agent-linux#update-the-vm-agent.

Check if the network interface has DHCP enabled by executing the command ipconfig -a. If DHCP is not enabled, you can enable it by following the instructions in this document: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/enable-dhcp.

If the issue persists, you can escalate it to Azure support by creating a support ticket in the Azure portal.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
