Add a Network to a Gateway
You can view a list of the networks added to a gateway. For each network, you can view the default
gateway IP address, IP range, and the number of virtual machines attached to it and the number of public IP
addresses allocated to the gateway.

2 Click the gateway for which you want to add a network.
3 Click the Networks tab.
All networks in the gateway are listed.

virtual machine to a network, the virtual machine gets an IP address from
the IP Pool created for that network.

Enter the IP address range for the IP Pool for this network.
NOTE The Routed through VDC gateway and VDC gateway fields are completed for you

You can delete internal or gateway networks from a virtual data center. Before you delete a network,
disconnect all virtual machines from it.
