6 Select Within this network and click OK.
7 Click OK.
8 Repeat Step 4 through Step 7 to add a route to the second vApp network.
Example: Static Routing Example
vApp Network 1 and vApp Network 2 are both routed to Org Network Shared. You can create static routes
on the organization network to allow traffic between the vApp networks. You can use information about the
vApp networks to create the static routes.
Table 3-3. Network Information
Network Name Network Specification Router External IP Address
vApp Network 1 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.0.100
vApp Network 2 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.0.101
Org Network Shared 192.168.0.0/24 NA
On Org Network Shared, create a static route to vApp Network 1 and another static route to vApp Network
2.
Table 3-4. Static Routing Settings
Static Route to
Network Route Name Network Next Hop IP Address Route
vApp Network 1 tovapp1 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.0.100 Within this network
vApp Network 2 tovapp2 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.0.101 Within this network
What to do next
Create firewall rules to allow traffic on the static routes.
Add Static Routes Between vApp Networks Routed to Different Organization
Networks
An organization administrator can add static routes between two vApp networks that are routed to different
organization networks. 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, configure the network firewall rules to allow traffic on the static route. For vApps
with static routes, 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.
