Table 3-1. Types of Organization vDC Networks
Organization vDC Network Type Description
Direct Accessible by multiple organizations. Virtual machines belonging to different
organizations can connect to and see traffic on this network.
This network provides direct layer 2 connectivity to virtual machines outside of
the organization. Virtual machines outside of this organization can connect to
virtual machines in the organization directly.
Routed Accessible only by this organization. Only virtual machines in this organization
can connect to this network.
This network also provides controlled access to an external network. System
administrators and organization administrators can configure network address
translation (NAT), firewall, and VPN settings to make specific virtual machines
accessible from the external network.
Internal Accessible only by this organization. Only virtual machines in this organization
can connect to and see traffic on this network.
This network provides an organization with an isolated, private network that
multiple vApps can connect to. This network provides no connectivity to
machines outside this organization. Machines outside of this organization have
no connectivity to machines in the organization.
Configuring Oganization vDC Network Services
An organization administrator can configure services, such as DHCP, firewalls, network address translation
(NAT), VPN, and static routing for certain organization vDC networks.
The network services available depend on the type of organization vDC network.

Organization administrators can configure certain organization vDC networks to provide DHCP services to
virtual machines in the organization.
When you power on a virtual machine with the following configuration, vCloud Director assigns a DHCP IP
address to that virtual machine.
n
A NIC connected to an organization vDC network that has DHCP enabled.
n
The IP mode for the connected NIC set to DHCP.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have a routed organization vDC network or an internal organization vDC network.
