vra7 and nsx: missing on-demand private network

Is there a way to create an on-demand private network(virtualwire) in vra7?

We just want a p2p between two VM's in a blueprint without any NAT or routing but looks like there is no option to create it:

The private network no longer exists in 7.0. If you tick the app isolation checkbox it will solve your particular use case.

Alternatively if there are other VMs in the blueprint you will need a security policy setup in NSX to achieve this.

But want if we want to build something like this:

A couple of private virtual wires and a dynamic logical router.

Can this still be build from VRA?

From a security group perspective you would have two groups:

Group A

Permit Inbound from Group B

Permit Outbound from Group B

Permit whatever upstream communications you are looking for.

Deny All

Group B

Permit Inbound from Group A

Permit Outbound from Group A

Deny All

Have all three VMs attached to the same Routed Network Profile and it will achieve what you are looking for.
