4 Click the Static Routing tab and click Add.
5 Type a name, network address, and next hop IP address.
The network address is for the first vApp network to which you want to add a static route. The next
hop IP address is the external IP address of that vApp network's router.
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 virtual datacenter network to allow traffic between the vApp networks. You can use
information about the vApp networks to create the static routes.
Table 2‑3. 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.

What to do next
Create firewall rules to allow traffic on the static routes.
Add Static Routes Between vApp Networks Routed to Different Organization
Virtual Datacenter Networks
An organization administrator can add static routes between two vApp networks that are routed to
different organization virtual datacenter 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 virtual datacenter 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.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have the following items.
n
Two organization virtual datacenter networks routed to the same external network.
n
Static routing is enabled on both organization virtual datacenter networks.
