VM IN HYPER-V GETTING APIPA IP ADDRESSES INSTEAD OF STATIC IP ADDRESS

VM IN HYPER-V GETTING APIPA IP ADDRESSES INSTEAD OF STATIC IP ADDRESS

I’ve a VMs (WS 2008 R2 Web Server) on WS 2019 Hyper-V Failover Cluster. The customer upgraded the Cisco Routers. But when i configure a static IP address in VM, the VM has static IP and APIPA IP address (169.254.x.x) assigned. 

The workaround is disable gratuitous ARP in Windows.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters] Set ArpRetryCount (32-bit DWORD) to 0
