If your SCVMM server is behind a firewall, all the IPs in this IP Pool and the Control Plane IP should be allowed to communicate through WinRM ports. The default WinRM ports are 5985 and 5986. <br> <br> 2. **Custom IP range**: Ensure that your VM network has three continuous free IP addresses. If your SCVMM server is behind a firewall, all the IPs in this IP range and the Control Plane IP should be allowed to communicate through WinRM ports. The default WinRM ports are 5985 and 5986. If the VM network is configured with a VLAN, the VLAN ID is required as an input.
