Table 3-4. Types of Organization Networks and Their Requirements
Organization Network
Type Description Requirements
External organization
network - direct connection
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
machines outside of the organization. Machines outside
of this organization can connect to machines within the
organization directly.
External network
External organization
network - NAT-routed
connection
Accessible only by this organization. Only virtual
machines within 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) and firewall settings to make
specific virtual machines accessible from the external
network.
External network and network

Internal organization
network
Accessible only by this organization. Only virtual
machines within 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 within
the organization.

Prerequisites
An external network.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and then click Organizations in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization name and select Add Networks.
3 Select the type of setup and network type.
You can create an external direct organization network using either method.
Option Network Type

Select the external network check box and select direct connection from the
drop-down menu.
Advanced
Select External organization network - direct connection.
4 Select an external network and click Next.
You can deselect the Only use networks accessible by this organization check box to view external
networks that are not currently available to the organization through its organization vDCs. This enables
you to choose an arbitrary network and later create an organization vDC that can access the network.
