Modify an Organization Network Name and Description

your vCloud Director installation grows, you might want to assign a more descriptive name or description
to an existing organization.

1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organization Networks in the left pane.

3 On the Name and Description tab, type a new name and optional description and click OK.
Modify an Organization Network DNS Settings
You can change the DNS settings for certain types of organization networks.
Prerequisites
An external NAT-routed organization network or an internal organization network.

3 On the Network Specification tab, type the new DNS information and click OK.
View Syslog Server Settings for an Organization Network
You can view the syslog server settings for a routed organization network.
vCloud Director supports logging events related to firewall rules to a syslog server that a system administrator
specifies.
If an organization network lacks syslog server settings and you think that it should have them, or if the settings
are not what you expected, synchronize the network with the most current syslog server settings. See “Apply
Syslog Server Settings to an Organization Network,” on page 65.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that you have an external NAT-routed organization network.
n
Verify that you are an organization administrator.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organization Networks in the left pane.
2 Select an organization network, right-click, and select Properties.
3 Click the Syslog Server Settings tab.
Apply Syslog Server Settings to an Organization Network
You can apply syslog server settings to a routed organization network to enable firewall rule logging.
Apply syslog server settings to any organization network that was created before the initial creation of those
settings. Apply the syslog server settings to an organization network any time the settings are changed.
