4. Impacts of mismanagement
Inability to provision VMs/VNFs on the network
Address depletion with full subnets
Suboptimal IP address space utilization
Misalignment of capacity to needs
VM/VNF unreachable via IP
Erroneous duplicate assignment of IP address
VM/VNF unreachable via DNS
DNS not updated with hostname-IP address assignment
Wasted address space reduces capacity
IP addresses not freed up when VM/VNF de-instantiated
Free addresses go unused
