In our environment, Virtual machine hosted on VMware was unable to connect to the network showing Limited connectivity error. When we diagnosed, we found that the VLAN in which the VM was associated didn`t have any more free IP`s. So, we created a new VLAN and followed the following steps
1. Shutdown the VM & removed the existing Network Adapter.
2. Created a network adapter & added the newly created VLAN.
3. Started the VM.
VM was still was unable to get the IP.
Below mentioned troubleshooting was also done, which was not successful.
1. Validated if there is any DNS entry for the host name.
2. Tried assigning Static IP.
3. DHCP server was not reachable from the machine, but was able to ping loop back IP (127.0.0.1)
Kindly provide your suggestions
