Abstract

Dynamically assigning network addresses provided by a server in a network to virtual network adapters in virtual machines, in which a reassignment of the assigned network addresses due to suspending virtual machines is prevented. Network addresses of the virtual machines in the network are logged. Network addresses are combined with information about suspending and/or resuming virtual machines by a control instance. Information about the network addresses of suspended virtual machines for its virtual network adapters with dynamically assigned network addresses is sent to the server.
