Deploying a test VM and connecting it to the newly created segment

Now that a new segment has been created and a DHCP server has been configured for that segment, we can ensure that a VM deployed to that segment will be able to receive an IP address from the DHCP server.

There are multiple ways to create a VM in vCenter. For this exercise, we will create a VM from an imported template:

1. Log in to vCenter | VMs and Templates | Templates | your template (in this case, it is Windows-2022-Template) | ACTIONS | New VM from This Template.
