Managing External Networks
After you create an external network, you can modify its name, description, and network specification, add IP
addresses to its IP address pool, or delete the network.
Modify an External Network Name and Description
As your Cloud Director installation grows, you might want to assign a more descriptive name or description
to an existing external network.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click External Networks in the left pane.
2 Right-click the external network name and select Properties.
3 On the Name and Description tab, type a new name and description and click OK.
Modify an External Network Specification
If the network specification for an external network changes, you can modify its network settings.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click External Networks in the left pane.
2 Right-click the external network name and select Properties.
3 On the Network Specification tab, modify the network settings and click OK.
You cannot modify the network mask or default gateway. If you need an external network with a different
netmask or gateway, create one.
Add IP Addresses to an External Network IP Pool
If an external network is running out of IP addresses, you can add more addresses to its IP Pool.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click External Networks in the left pane.
2 Right-click the external network name and select Properties.
3 On the Network Specification tab, type an IP address or a range of IP addresses in the text box and click
Add.
4 Click OK.
Delete an External Network
Delete an external network to remove it from Cloud Director.
Prerequisites
Before you can delete an external network, you must delete all of the organization networks that rely on it.
