5.5.5.1. Direct
Connecting virtual machines in a vApp directly to an organization virtual datacenter network places vApp virtual machines in the port group of the organization virtual datacenter network. IP address assignments for vApps follow the organization virtual datacenter network IP addressing scheme.
The following figure shows a vApp network directly connected to a direct external organization virtual datacenter network.
