Antonio This behaviour is because of the differences between Basic and Advanced Networking.
In a Basic Zone, the IP is determined by the POD the VM gets assigned to, but this assignment only happens when it is started for the first time. With an Advanced Network, the IP is assigned from the Guest CIDR for the associated network and the VM Placement has no impact on this so the IP is assigned during VM creation. The IP allocation for a VM in a Basic Zone could be seen by some as inferior when compared to an Advanced Zone. In an Advanced Zone you can assign the IP when you create the VM (via API) but this is not possible for a Basic Zone, even for Root Admins. I know this does not answer your question, just giving you the background as to why it works the way it does.

Is there a way to make Advanced work like Basic (IP will be assigned only after VM start)? Thanks. Best Regards.
