Create and Manage vApp Networks
The following network types are imported into OnApp:
- organization vDC networks (this network allows virtual servers in the organization vDC to communicate with each other and to access other networks)
- external networks (this network provides the interface to the Internet for virtual servers connected to external organization vDC networks)
- vApp networks (this network controls how the virtual servers in a vApp connect to each other and to organization vDC networks)
You can view the list of imported vApp networks at OnApp Cloud Control Panel. Also you can add a vApp network in VMware Cloud Director using OnApp Control Panel.
This functionality is available for users with the following roles:
vCloud Catalog Author
vCloud vApp Author
vCloud vApp User
vCloud Organization Administrator
