5.1

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
Verify that you have the following items:
n
vShield Manager 5.1.
n
Two organization vDC networks routed to the same external network.
n
Static routing is enabled on both organization vDC networks.
n
A vApp network is routed to each organization vDC network.
n
The vApp networks are in vApps that were started at least once.
Procedure
1 Click Administration and select the organization vDC.
2 Click the Org vDC Networks tab, right-click the organization vDC network name, and select Configure
Services.
3 Click the Static Routing tab and click Add.
4 Type a name, network address, and next hop IP address.
The network address is for the vApp network to which you want to add a static route. The next hop IP
address is the external IP address of the router for the organization vDC network to which that vApp
network is routed.
5 Select To external network and click OK.
6 Click Add.
7 Type a name, network address, and next hop IP address.
The network address is for the vApp network that is routed to this organization vDC network. The next
hop IP address is the external IP address of the router for that vApp network.
8 Select Within this network and click OK.
9 Repeat Step 2 through Step 8 to add static routes to the second organization vDC network.
Example: Static Routing Example
vApp Network 1 is routed to Org vDC Network 1. vApp Network 2 is routed to Org vDC Network 2. You can
create static routes on the organization vDC networks to allow traffic between the vApp networks. You can
use information about the vApp networks and organization vDC networks to create the static routes.
Table 3-5. Network Information
Network Name Network Specification Router External IP Address
vApp Network 1 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.0.100
vApp Network 2 192.168.11.0/24 192.168.10.100
Org vDC Network 1 192.168.0.0/24 10.112.205.101
Org vDC Network 2 192.168.10.0/24 10.112.205.100
On Org vDC Network 1, create a static route to vApp Network 2 and another static route to vApp Network 1.
On Org vDC Network 2, create a static route to vApp Network 1 and another static route to vApp Network 2.
