Configure the vCenter Network and Its Network Adapters
Data Director uses the vCenter Network to communicate with the vCenter Server system. You configure the
vCenter Network and its network adapters to enable this communication.
Prerequisites
n
Plan the network setup for your environment. See the vFabric Data Director Worksheets.
n
Complete the SMTP settings in the Data Director Setup wizard.
Procedure
1 Click the Edit button.
2 Select the DHCP or Static IP check box.
You can select both check boxes if your environment supports both protocols.
3 If you selected Static IP, enter a valid netmask.
4 Click OK to accept the network settings.

Configure Network Mapping
The Network Mapping screen of the setup wizard allows you to map the vSphere networks to the type of Data
Director network traffic they will carry.
Prerequisites
n
Plan the network setup for your environment. See the vFabric Data Director Worksheets.
n
Complete the vCenter Network setup in the Data Director Setup wizard.
Procedure
1 Use the Internal Network drop-down menu to configure the network mapping.
The Internal Network traffic must be on a different network than other network traffic.
2 Use the drop-down menu for the other networks (Web Console, Internal, and DB Name Service Network)
to configure their network mapping.
During development and prototyping, you can use one network for these three types of network traffic.
In a production environment, each Data Director network must map to a different vSphere network.
3 Click Next to continue.
Data Director setup maps the networks. This can take a few minutes. When mapping finishes, Data Director
setup continues to the Network Configuration screen.
