Create a NAT Network Profile for an On-Demand Network
You can create an on-demand NAT network profile, relative to an external network profile.
You can assign ranges of static IP and DHCP addresses to a NAT network profile.
NAT networks use one set of IP addresses for external communication and another set of IP addresses
for internal communication. External IP addresses are allocated from an external network profile and
internal NAT IP addresses are defined by a NAT network profile.
When you provision a new NAT network, a new instance of the NAT network profile is created and used
to allocate machine IP addresses.
Procedure
1 Specify NAT Network Profile Information
The network profile identifies the NAT network properties, underlying external network profile, NAT
type, and other values used to provision the network.
2 Configure NAT Network Profile IP Ranges
You can define one or more ranges of static IP addresses for use in provisioning a network.
Specify NAT Network Profile Information
The network profile identifies the NAT network properties, underlying external network profile, NAT type,
and other values used to provision the network.
Prerequisites
n

Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Reservations > Network Profiles.
2 Click New and select NAT from the drop-down menu.
3 Enter a name and, optionally, a description.
4 Accept the default IPAM endpoint value for the supplied vRealize Automation IPAM endpoint.
