When configuring the Azure Site Recovery Vmware onsite config server it states to add a second nic card. Is there any networking configuration or settings in general? I added it to the VMware VM but it doesnt have an IP and the first NIC does. The doc's site doesnt specify any settings. Do i just leave it blank with no IP/Networking configuration?

    Hello @Johnny
    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A community forum!

    Two NICs are required if you plan to retain the IP addresses of the source machines on failover and want to fail back to on-premises later. One NIC is connected to source machines, and the other NIC is used for Azure connectivity.

    If you want to add an additional NIC to the configuration server, add it before you register the server in the vault. Adding additional adapters isn't supported after registration.
