Fabric administrators specify the ranges of IP addresses that can be used in network profiles. Each IP
address in the specified ranges allocated to a machine is reclaimed for reassignment when the machine
is destroyed and the ReclaimDestroyedStaticIPAddresses workflow runs.
A fabric administrator creates external network profiles and templates for NAT, private, and routed
network profiles on the Network Profiles page. A tenant administrator or business group manager creates
NAT, private, and routed network profiles in multi-machine blueprints for use in configuring network
adapters and load balancers for the multi-machine components.
Create an External Network Profile
A fabric administrator can create an external network profile to define external network properties and a
range of static IP addresses.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a fabric administrator.
Procedure
1 Specify External Network Profile Information
The network profile information identifies the external network properties and specifies settings for
an existing network. An external network profile is a requirement of NAT and routed network profiles.
2 Configure External Network Profile IP Ranges
A fabric administrator can define zero (0) or more ranges of static IP addresses for use in
provisioning a network. An external network profile must have at least one static IP range for use
with routed and NAT network profiles.
