8 Click the IP Ranges tab.
The IP range or ranges specified in the network profile are displayed. You can change the sort order
or column display. For NAT networks, you can also change IP range values.
a Enter a start IP address value in the IP range start text box.
b Enter a start IP address value in the IP range start text box.
9 If you are using a NAT network that is based on a one-to-many NAT network profile that uses static IP
ranges, you can use the NAT Rules tab to add rules that enable an external IP to access
components in the internal NAT network.
For a NAT one-to-many network, you can define NAT rules that can be configured when you add a
NAT network component to the blueprint and can be changed when you edit the NAT network in a
deployment.
The options that are available for selection are based on the vSphere machine or NSX load balancer
components that you have associated to the NAT network component.
n
Name - Enter a unique rule name.
n
Component - Select from a list of associated vSphere machine or load balancer components to
which the NAT network is associated.
n
Source port - Select the ANY option, enter a valid port or port range, or specify a valid property
binding.
n
Destination port - Select the ANY option, enter a valid port or port range, or specify a valid
property binding.
n
Protocol - Enter any valid NSX-supported protocol or select the TCP, UDP, or ANY option.
n
Description - Enter a brief description of what the NAT rule is designed to do.
10 Click Finish to save the blueprint as draft or continue configuring the blueprint.
What to do next
You can continue configuring network settings by adding additional network components and by selecting
settings in the Network tab of a vSphere machine component in the design canvas.
Using Load Balancer Components in the Design Canvas
You can add one or more on-demand NSX load balancer components to the design canvas to configure
vSphere machine component settings in the blueprint.
The network and security component settings that you add to the design canvas are derived from your
NSX configuration and require that you have run data collection for the NSX inventory for vSphere
clusters. Network and security components are specific to NSX and are available for use with vSphere
machine components only. For information about configuring NSX, see NSX Administration Guide.
The following rules apply to load balancer pools and VIP network settings in the blueprint.
n
If the pool network profile is NAT, the VIP network profile can be part of the NAT network profile.
