Configure DHCP for an Organization Network
You can configure certain organization networks to provide DHCP services to virtual machines in the
organization.
When you enable DHCP for an organization network, connect a NIC on virtual machine in the organization
to that network, and select DHCP as the IP mode for that NIC, Cloud Director assigns a DHCP IP address to
the virtual machine when you power it on.
Both system administrators and organization administrators can configure DHCP.
Prerequisites
An external NAT-routed organization network or an internal organization network.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organization Networks in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization network name and select Configure Services.
3 Click the DHCP tab and select Enable DHCP.
4 Type a range of IP addresses or use the default range.
Cloud Director uses these addresses to satisfy DHCP requests. The range of DHCP IP addresses cannot
overlap with the static IP pool for the organization network.
5 Set the default lease time and maximum lease time or use the default values.
6 Click OK.
Cloud Director updates the network to provide DHCP services.
Enable the Firewall for an Organization Network
You can configure certain organization networks to provide firewall services. Enable the firewall on an
organization network to block all incoming traffic.
You can also add firewall rules to allow traffic that matches the rules to pass through the firewall. See “Add a
Firewall Rule for an Organization Network,” on page 56.
Both system administrators and organization administrators can enable firewalls.
Prerequisites
An external NAT-routed organization network.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organization Networks in the left pane.
2 Right-click the organization network name and select Configure Services.
3 Click the Firewall tab and select Enable firewall.
