Add External IP Addresses to an Organization Network
Before you can configure NAT mapping for an organization network, you must add one or more external IP
addresses.
Only a system administrator can add external IP addresses to an organization network.
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 NAT - External IPs tab.
4 Type an IP address and click Add.
The IP address must be routable on the external network and unique across internal networks.
5 Click OK.
What to do next
Configure NAT mapping using the external IP address.
Configure Port Forwarding for an Organization Network
You can configure certain organization networks to provide port forwarding. Port forwarding provides
external access to services running on virtual machines on the organization network.
When you configure port forwarding, vCloud Director maps an external IP address and a port to a service
running on a port on a virtual machine for inbound traffic.
When you add a new port forwarding rule to an organization network, it appears at the bottom of the NAT
mapping rule list. For information about how to set the order in which NAT mapping rules are enforced, see
“Reorder NAT Mapping Rules for an Organization Network,” on page 57.
Both system administrators and organization administrators can configure port forwarding.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have an external NAT-routed organization network and an external IP address.
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 NAT Mapping tab and click Add.
4 Select Port Forwarding and configure the port forwarding rule.
a Select an external IP address.
b Select an external port.
c Type the IP address of the destination virtual machine.
n
If the virtual machine is fenced, type its external IP address.
n
If the virtual machine is not fenced, type its internal IP address.
