Reorder Port Forwarding Rules for a vApp Network
Port forwarding rules are enforced in the order in which they appear in the NAT mapping list. You can change
the order of the rules in the list.
When you add a new port forwarding rule to a vApp network, it appears at the bottom of the NAT mapping
rule list. To enforce the new rule before an existing rule, reorder the rules.
Prerequisites
A routed vApp network with two or more port forwarding rules.
Procedure
1 Click the My Cloud tab and click vApps in the left pane.
2 Right-click a vApp and select Open.
3 On the Networking tab, select Show networking details and click Details.
4 On the NAT tab, click and drag the rules to establish the order in which the rules are applied and click
OK.
5 Click Apply.
Enable Static Routing for a vApp Network
You can configure certain vApp networks to provide static routing services. After you enable static routing on
two or more vApp networks, you can add static routes to allow virtual machines on different vApp networks
to communicate.
To route traffic between two vApp networks, you must enable static routing on both networks.
Prerequisites
A routed vApp network.
Procedure
1 Click the My Cloud tab and click vApps in the left pane.
2 Right-click a vApp and select Open.
3 On the Networking tab, select Show networking details.
4 Right-click the vApp network and select Configure Services.
5 On the Static Routing tab, select Enable static routing and click OK.
6 Click Apply.
What to do next
Enable static routing on another vApp network and create static routes between the two vApp networks.
Add Static Routes to vApp Networks
You 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 to a fenced vApp or between overlapping networks. After you add a static route
to a vApp network, 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.
