Add Configuration Details for an L2 Appliance

Before you can configure DC Extensions, you must enter the L2 Appliance configuration details. When you extend a network, vCloud Director Extender deploys the L2 Appliance automatically and uses the current configuration details.

Procedure

1. In a Web browser, open the OnPrem Setup UI.
2. In the DC Extensions tab, in the L2 Appliance Configuration, click Add Appliance Configuration.

   The L2 Appliance Configuration pop-up window appears.

3. Enter a target folder name and a data center name for the appliance.
4. Enter a target Cluster name or a Host name.
5. Enter a target datastore name.
6. Enter an Uplink Network name.
7. Enter an Uplink Network IP Pool and click Add.

   Enter IPv4 IP addresses in dotted or delimited format.

   Important:

   The IP addresses you enter must be static IP addresses that are accessible from the cloud.

8. Enter a Default Gateway IP.
9. Enter a Prefix Length and click Create.

Results

In the OnPrem Setup UI, a new configuration appears in the Current L2 Appliance Configuration.
