What to do next
Create static routes. See “Add Static Routes Between vApp Networks Routed to the Same Organization
Network,” on page 61 and “Add Static Routes Between vApp Networks Routed to Different Organization
Networks,” on page 62.
Add Static Routes Between vApp Networks Routed to the Same Organization
Network
You
can add static routes between two vApp networks that are routed to the same organization network. Static
routes allow traffic between the networks.
You cannot add static routes between overlapping networks or fenced vApps. After you add a static route to
an organization network, configure the network firewall rules to allow traffic on the static route.
Static routes only function when the vApps included in the routes are running. If the vApp includes static
routes and you change the parent network of a vApp, delete a vApp, or delete a vApp network, the static
routes no longer function and you must remove them manually.
Prerequisites
Verify that the networks have the following configurations:
n
vShield 5.0.
n
A routed organization network.
n
Static routing is enabled on the organization network.
n
Two vApp networks are routed to the organization network.
n
The vApp networks are in vApps that were started at least once.
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 On the Static Routing tab, click Add.
4 Type a name, network address, and next hop IP.
The network address is for the first vApp network to which you want to add a static route. The next hop
IP is the external IP address of that vApp network's router.
5 Select Within this network and click OK.
6 Click OK.
7 Repeat steps Step 3 through Step 6 to add a route to the second vApp network.
Example: Static Routing Example
vApp Network 1 and vApp Network 2 are both routed to Org Network Shared. You can create static routes
on the organization network to allow traffic between the vApp networks. You can use information about the
vApp networks to create the static routes.
