To establish a network connection between the virtual machines in a vApp and an organization network, you need to create a direct vApp network.

Prerequisites

Verify that you are connected to a VMware Cloud Director server.

Procedure

  1. Retrieve the vApp for which you want to create a vApp network.
    $myVApp = Get-CIVApp -Name 'MyVApp'
  2. Retrieve the organization vDC network that you want to connect to.
    $myOrgVdcNetwork = Get-OrgVdcNetwork -Name 'MyOrgVdcNetwork'
  3. Create a direct vApp network that connects to the selected organization vDC network.
    New-CIVAppNetwork -VApp $myVapp -Direct -ParentOrgVdcNetwork $myOrgVdcNetwork
    By default, the new vApp network has an enabled firewall.
