In VMware Cloud Director, you can enable route advertisement for the networks that are using an IP space.

You can enable route advertisment for the networks that are using a specific IP space to facilitate the creation of a fully routed environment in an organization. After enabling the route advertisement for an IP space, you can configure route advertisment for each network to advertise routes from the edge gateways to the provider gateways.
