(Optional) Select this option to create a gateway network; create a gateway
network when the virtual machines on the network need access to the
Internet. If you do not select this option, an internal network is added to
the virtual data center.
NOTE This option is only available when the virtual data center has at
least one gateway.
VDC gateway
After selecting Routed through VDC gateway,select the gateway from the
drop-down list. The drop-down list contains the gateways available for the
virtual data center.
Network Gateway
Enter the gateway IP address for the network.
NOTE Entering a gateway IP address is required even when adding an
internal (isolated) network because internal networks are dependent on a
gateway for DHCP networking services. If you are adding an internal
network, entering a gateway address in this field does not affect the
network's isolated status.
Subnet mask
Enter the subnet mask for the IP Pool for this network. When you attach a
virtual machine to a network, the virtual machine gets an IP address from
the IP Pool created for that network.
See “Allocation of Public IP Addresses,” on page 11 for more information.
IP Range
Enter the IP address range for the IP Pool for this network.
5 Click Add Network.
