You can connect to the SDDC vCenter Server at either a public or private IP address. A private IP address can be resolved from an SDDC VPN. A public IP address can be resolved from the Internet. If your SDDC does not have a public IP address, you can connect to it by using a private IP address through a VPN or a dedicated network connection. You can also use a jump server located in the hyperscaler native cloud instance. For information on which of the options are applicable to your VMware Cloud on Public Cloud SDDC, see the hyperscale cloud provider documentation.

Prerequisites

Before you can access the SDDC vCenter Server at a private IP address, you'll need to set up a VPN connecting your SDDC to your on-premises datacenter. See Create a Route-Based VPN or Create a Policy-Based VPN.

Note:

If you cannot manage your SDDC outside of the hyperscale cloud provider network, you can access the SDDC through a jump server located in the hyperscaler native cloud instance. See the hyperscale cloud provider documentation for more information.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Settings tab of your SDDC.
  2. Expand vCenter FQDN, and click Edit.
  3. Under Resolution Address Select either the Public IP address or the Private IP address and click SAVE.
