Enable Static Routing on an Edge Gateway
You can configure an edge gateway to provide static routing services. After you enable static routing on an
edge gateway, you can add static routes to allow traffic between vApp networks routed to organization vDC
networks backed by the edge gateway.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Organization vDCs in the left pane.
2 Double-click the organization vDC name to open the organization vDC.
3 Click the Edge Gateways tab, right-click the edge gateway name, and select Edge Gateway Services.
4 On the Static Routing tab, select Enable static routing, and click OK.
What to do next
Create static routes. See “Add Static Routes Between vApp Networks Routed to the Same Organization vDC
Network,” on page 89 and “Add Static Routes Between vApp Networks Routed to Different Organization
vDC Networks,” on page 90.
Managing Load Balancer Service on an Edge Gateway
Edge gateways provide load balancing for TCP, HTTP, and HTTPS traffic.
You map an external, or public, IP address to a set of internal servers for load balancing. The load balancer
accepts TCP, HTTP, or HTTPS requests on the external IP address and decides which internal server to use.
Port 809 is the default listening port for TCP, port 80 is the default port for HTTP, and port 443 is the default
port for HTTPS.
