My scenario is that I have a range of about 200 addresses on a single VLAN which can not be broken out to seperate VLANs or seperate IP scopes. I need to divide this range out to 4 different orginzations, it doesn't necessarlily need to be contiguos ranges but to make things simple I want something like this:
Example:
Org1: 10.1.1.10 - 10.1.1.50 - routed
Org2: 10.1.1.51 - 10.1.1.100 -routed
Org3: 10.1.1.101 - 10.1.1.150 -routed
Org4: 10.1.1.151 - 10.1.1.210 -direct
Org1-3 will have a routed network connected to the external network.
Org4 will have a direct network connected to the external network.
That external network includes the full range, 10.1.1.10 - 10.1.1.210.
I would like to either A: Set a quota per Org to have x number of IP's or B: Manually define the range per org routed network.
This is all to prevent one Org from having more IP's than another. I would think this is a common use case when it comes to Public IP's anyone have a workaround?
This isn't really supported in VCD 1.5. You can try making 4 external nets on the same VLAN and give them different IP pools in the same subnet
That was the first thing I tried but vCD would not allow multiple external networks with the same VLAN...
I guess I could limit it by number of networks because each org is using the network in a specific way.
Example
Org1: Each vApp is fenced/routed to the org and the org is routed to the external, therefor each vApp should take up 2 networks
Org2: Each vApp is fenced/routed to the org and the org is routed to the external, therefor each vApp should take up 2 networks
Org3: Each vApp is directly connected to the org and the org is routed to the external, therefor each vApp should take up 1 network
Org4: Each vApp is directly connected to the external network and therefore will not take up any networks
I have 200 IP's
I want it split like this:
Org1: 40 IP's x2 per vApp = 80 Networks
Org2: 50 IP's x2 per vApp = 100 Networks
Org3: 50 IP's x1 per vApp = 50 Networks
Org4: 60 IP's x0 per vApp = 0 Networks
This would obvioulsly be a mess if internal networks were involved but I can't think of a better workaround besides giving each org its own VLAN.
There is a setting in System, Administration, System Settings, General.
Under the Networking heading there's a checkbox "Allow overlapping external networks"
