Abstract
An elastic Internet Protocol (IP) address for hypervisor and virtual router management in a branch environment may be provided. First, an IP address may be assigned to a hypervisor associated with a virtual branch. Next, it may be determined that a virtual machine (VM) has been instantiated at the virtual branch. In response to determining that the VM has been instantiated at the virtual branch, the IP address may then be released. It may next be determined that the VM is in a failed state and then, in response to determining that the VM is in the failed state, the IP address may be reassigned to the hypervisor.
