If you establish a bidirectional protection, in which site B serves as the recovery site for site A and at the same time site A serves as the recovery site for site B, limits apply across both sites, and not per site. In a bidirectional implementation, you can protect a different number of virtual machines on each site, but the total number of protected virtual machines across both sites cannot exceed the limits.

For example, if you protect 2600 virtual machines using

vSphere Replication

from site A to site B, you can use vSphere Replication to protect a maximum of 1400 virtual machines from site B to site A. If you are using

vSphere Replication

for a bidirectional protection, you can protect a maximum of 4000 virtual machines across both sites.

If you implement IP customization for recovered virtual machines, you can configure a maximum of one IP address for each NIC, using DHCP, static IPv4, or static IPv6. For static IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, you provide the following information per NIC:

1 IP address
Subnet information
1 gateway server address
2 DNS servers (primary and secondary)

You also set 2 WINS addresses for DHCP or IPv4, on Windows virtual machines only.
