Applications and workloads running in a private cloud environment require name resolution and DHCP services for lookup and IP address assignments. A proper DHCP and DNS infrastructure are required to provide these services. You can configure a virtual machine to provide these services in your private cloud environment.
Use the DHCP service built-in to NSX-T Data Center or use a local DHCP server in the private cloud instead of routing broadcast DHCP traffic over the WAN back to on-premises.
Important
If you advertise a default route to the Azure VMware Solution, then you must allow the DNS forwarder to reach the configured DNS servers and they must support public name resolution.
