Add an IP Space Uplink To a Provider Gateway in Your VMware Cloud Director

You can associate IP spaces to a provider gateway by creating IP space uplinks in VMware Cloud Director.

If the provider gateway for which you create the IP space uplink is private, i.e. dedicated to an organization, or if an organization has an edge gateway that is associated with the provider gateway, by creating the IP space uplink, you grant this organization access to the IP space with which the uplink is associated.

You can associate only one IP space with an IP space uplink. You cannot associate a private IP space to a public provider gateway.

Prerequisites

• Verify that your provider gateway is using IP spaces.
• Verify that your role includes the IP Spaces:View and IP Spaces:Configure rights.

Procedure

1. From the primary left navigation panel, select Resources, and from the page top navigation bar, select Cloud Resources.
2. In the left pane, click Provider Gateways.
3. Under Configure, click IP Space Uplinks.
4. Click New.
5. Enter the tenant facing name and optionally, a description for the IP space uplink, and click Next.
6. Select an IP space to associate with the IP space uplink and click Next.
7. (Optional) Select interfaces to map to the IP space uplink.
   You can associate only some of the interfaces of the provider gateway to the uplink if you plan to create specific NAT rules to be applied only to the selected interfaces.

   If necessary, you can edit the list of associated interfaces later.

8. Review your settings and click Finish.
