Configuring Network Services
You can configure network services, such as DHCP, firewalls, network address translation (NAT), and VPN
for certain organization networks. Organization administrators can also configure some network services for
their organization networks.
Table 5-5 lists the network services that vCloud Director provides to each type of organization network.

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, vCloud 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.
vCloud 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.
