A VM network exists on top of a logical network, enabling you to create multiple virtualization networks to isolate and abstract the virtual machines from the logical networks. The types of VM networks in VMM 2016 are as follows:
- Isolation (network virtualization):
- Without the VLAN constraints, isolation enables VM deployment flexibility as the VM keeps its IP address independent of the host it is placed on, removing the necessity for physical IP subnet hierarchies or VLANs.
- It allows you to configure numerous virtual network infrastructures (they can even have the same customer IP address (CA)) that are connected to the same physical network. A likely scenario is either a hosting environment, with customers sharing the same physical fabric infrastructure, or an enterprise environment with different teams that have different objectives also sharing the same physical fabric infrastructure or even on a software house having test, stage, and production...
