8 Repeat steps Step 4 through Step 7 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 vDC Network Shared. You can create static
routes on the organization vDC network to allow traffic between the vApp networks. You can use information
about the vApp networks to create the static routes.
Table 5-7. Network Information
Network Name Network Specification Router External IP Address
vApp Network 1 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.0.100
vApp Network 2 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.0.101
Org vDC Network Shared 192.168.0.0/24 NA
On Org vDC Network Shared, create a static route to vApp Network 1 and another static route to vApp
Network 2.
Table 5-8. Static Routing Settings
Static Route to
Network Route Name Network Next Hop IP Address Route
vApp Network 1 tovapp1 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.0.100 Within this network
vApp Network 2 tovapp2 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.0.101 Within this network
What to do next
Create firewall rules to allow traffic on the static routes. See “Add a Firewall Rule for an Organization vDC
Network,” on page 85.
Add Static Routes Between vApp Networks Routed to Different Organization vDC
Networks
An organization administrator can add static routes between two vApp networks that are routed to different
organization vDC networks. 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 vDC network, configure the network firewall rules to allow traffic on the static route. For
vApps with static routes, select the Always use assigned IP addresses until this vApp or associated networks
are deleted check box.
Static routes function only when the vApps included in the routes are running. If a vApp includes static routes
and you perform the following operations, the static routes cannot function and you must remove them
manually.
n
Change the parent network of the vApp
n
Delete a vApp
n
Delete a vApp network
Prerequisites
Verify that vCloud Director has the following configurations:
n
vShield Manager 5.1.
n
Two organization vDC networks routed to the same external network.
n
Static routing is enabled on both organization vDC networks.
