Arc resource bridge consists of an appliance VM that is deployed on-premises. The appliance VM has visibility into the on-premises infrastructure and can tag on-premises resources (guest management) for projection into Azure Resource Manager (ARM).

Arc resource bridge consists of an appliance VM that is deployed on-premises. The appliance VM has visibility into the on-premises infrastructure and can tag on-premises resources (guest management) for projection into Azure Resource Manager (ARM). The appliance VM is assigned an IP address from the `k8snodeippoolstart` parameter in the `createconfig` command. It may be referred to in partner products as Start Range IP, RB IP Start or VM IP 1. The appliance VM IP is the starting IP address for the appliance VM IP pool range; therefore, when you first deploy Arc resource bridge, this is the IP that's initially assigned to your appliance VM. The VM IP pool range requires a minimum of 2 IP addresses.

Arc resource bridge reserves an additional IP address to be used for the appliance VM upgrade. The reserved appliance VM IP is assigned an IP address via the `k8snodeippoolend` parameter in the `az arcappliance createconfig` command. This IP address may be referred to as End Range IP, RB IP End, or VM IP 2. The reserved appliance VM IP is the ending IP address for the appliance VM IP pool range. When your appliance VM is upgraded for the first time, this is the IP assigned to your appliance VM post-upgrade and the initial appliance VM IP is returned to the IP pool to be used for a future upgrade. If specifying an IP pool range larger than two IP addresses, the additional IPs are reserved.
