Still, in some cases this might provide a solution. 33 2 vCloud Networks In this chapter we will work with networks. Therefore, a look at the following recipes will give you a very good idea of what you can do with them: ff Deploying a vApp with vApp router ff Forwarding an RDP (or SSH) session into an isolated an isolated vApp ff Accessing a fully isolated vApp or Organization Network ff Using Organization Networks for interconnection between vApps ff Using templates with firewall and NAT settings ff Connecting a physical device to an isolated network ff Sharpening the Edge ff Using vApp Network fencing ff Creating multitiered vApp Networks ff Ensuring no change in IP after redeployment ff Automatic IP management for External Network Pools ff Creating load-balanced VMs in an organization ff Creating a secure connection between organizations (which can be in different vClouds) ff Monitoring which network resources have been used where Introduction In Chapter 1, Setting Up Networks, we looked into installing some rather special networks; now let's have a closer look at what one can do with networks in vCloud, but before we dive into the recipes, let's make sure we are all on the same page.
The benefit of this is that you can use the Cisco tools and Cisco language to configure it. For all intents and purposes, it acts and behaves like a Cisco physical switch. One of the drawbacks is that there can be maximal 63 hosts (63 hosts and one Cisco v1000) connected to one Cisco 1000v and the integration between Cisco and VMware isn't as smooth as it may appear to be. Cisco 1000v consists of two different items. The VSM is the management console and is basically a VM where the Cisco OS runs.
VCNS creates the VXLAN tunnel endpoints and manages the VXLANs for the whole virtual infrastructure. For all this to happen, vCNS must install an agent on each ESXi server. This is done when you click on Finish, as explained in step 12 in the How to do it… section of this recipe. These agents provide the connection between VMs and the VXLANs. As the VXLAN packages are bigger than the common network packages, we have to adjust the MTU to avoid frame fragmentation. A safe setting is 1600. Each agent will be deployed and connected to a new vmknic.
