Enable Static Routing for an Organization Network
An organization administrator can configure certain organization networks to provide static routing services.
After you enable static routing on an organization network, you can add static routes to allow traffic between
different vApp networks routed to the organization network.
Prerequisites
A routed organization network.
Procedure
1 Click Administration.
2 Select Cloud Resources > Networks.
3 Right-click the organization network name and select Configure Services.
4 On the Static Routing tab, select Enable static routing and click OK.
What to do next
Create static routes.
Add Static Routes Between vApp Networks Routed to the Same Organization
Network
An organization administrator can add static routes between two vApp networks that are routed to the same
organization network. Static routes allow traffic between the networks.
You cannot add static routes between overlapping networks or fenced vApps. After you add a static route to
an organization network, make sure to configure the network firewall rules to allow traffic on the static route.
For vApps with static routes, you should select the Always use assigned IP addresses until this vApp or
associated networks are deleted check box.
Static routes only function when the vApps included in the routes are running. If you change the parent
network of a vApp, delete a vApp, or delete a vApp network, and the vApp includes static routes, those routes
cannot function and you must remove them manually.
Prerequisites
n
vShield 5.0.
n
A routed organization network.
n
Static routing is enabled on the organization network.
n
Two vApp networks routed to the organization network.
n
The vApp networks are in vApps that were started at least once.
Procedure
1 Click Administration.
2 Select Cloud Resources > Networks.
3 Right-click the organization network name and select Configure Services.
4 On the Static Routing tab, click Add.
5 Type a name, network address, and next hop IP.
The network address is for the first vApp network to which you want to add a static route. The next hop
IP is the external IP address of that vApp network's router.
