If you want to change or edit the CIDR block being used for Direct Connect, you can unset the connection.

After you unset Direct Connect, you must configure Direct Connect again to start using it.

Unsetting Direct Connect does not delete any private VIFs that were using it, but they become unusable. To delete the VIFs, see Delete Private VIFs.

Prerequisites

Unsetting Direct Connect makes the existing connection unusable, which you must reconfigure to start using it again for a protected site.

Before you unset an active Direct Connect connection, you must configure the Cyber Recovery connectors on the protected site to use the public internet. For more information, see Service Public IP Addresses.

Procedure

  1. From the left navigation in the VMware Live Cyber Recovery UI, select Settings and then click Private Network Connection.
  2. The Private network connection dialog box, under the Direct Connect section below click Unset Direct Connect.
  3. In the Unset Direct Connect dialog box, enter UNSET DIRECT CONNECT in the field, and then click Unset Direct Connect.
