4.3.2.2. vCloud Networking and Security Edge Configuration and Deployment by the Organization Administrator
In this session, the HR organization administrator takes over from where the vCloud administrator left off. The organization administrator’s view of the organization virtual datacenter is similar to that of the vCloud Administrator.
To configure and deploy the vCloud Networking and Security Edge instance
1. On the hr screen, select HR OrgvDC and click the Edge Gateways tab.
2. Under the Org vDC Networks tab, add a network by clicking the green plus sign (Add Network).
3. The New Organization vDC Network Wizard is displayed. After completing this screen, click Next.
The organization administrator cannot create direct connections to external networks.
An organization administrator can create an isolated or routed network and connect it to an existing vCloud Networking and Security Edge Gateway. In this example we only have one vCloud Networking and Security Edge (Edge) instance, so we will create a “temporary” network and connect it to this existing Edge instance.
4. On the Network Specification screen, define and personalize the new network. Click Next.
5. Set the name for the new network. In this example it is named HR-temporary. The new network is displayed on the summary page of all the organization virtual datacenter networks.
Users in the HR organization can now attach virtual machines to both of these networks that are routed to the external network using the same Edge Gateway. The two organization virtual datacenter networks can also access each other using static routing configurations automatically defined on the single Edge Gateway.
There is no longer a need to create an Edge device for each routed network deployed. Also, beginning with vCloud Director 5.1, the organization administrator can create, in self-service mode, organization virtual datacenter networks.
Additionally, the organization administrator can configure all of the possible Edge Gateway services such as DHCP, NAT, firewall, static routing, VPN, and load balancing.
