    Abstract: An example network device executes a plurality of virtual machines (VMs). The network device is configured to determine to assign a number of Internet protocol (IP) addresses to the plurality of VMs, the number of IP addresses being greater than two, determine a first IP address, determine a range value that is equal to or greater than the number of IP addresses, generate a message according to Duplicate Address Protocol (DAD) including data indicating that the message includes a range of addresses, the data further indicating the first IP address and the range value; and send the message according to DAD via the network interface to one or more network devices to determine whether any IP address in a range starting with the first IP address and through the range value is in use by the one or more network devices.
