      <title>Add an Organization VDC Network with an Imported Distributed Port Group</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-vCloud-Director/Add-an-Organization-VDC-Network-with-an-Imported-Distributed/m-p/2984427#M13621</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Does somebody try to add an Organization VDC Network with an Imported Distributed Port Group(DPG)? As system administrator all DPGs are appeared in Provide VDC but when I want to add network in a OrgVDC with Import DPG only direct/isolated button can be chosen. So we arent able to import DPG in a org VDC. &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://communities.vmware.com/html/@8D3AC78033E090809829B1C8262B7619/emoticons/1f61e.png" alt=":disappointed_face:" title=":disappointed_face:" /&gt;&amp;nbsp; User has administrator role on whole vcenter cluster which is used for registering vmware resurces in vCD. Has somebody problem like this one and has some&amp;nbsp;solution for it?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I think you will need to create an external network in the Provider VDC that is mapped to that Distributed Port Group. Then you will create an org VDC network that is direct connected to the External Provider vDC network. When creating an org VDC make sure you choose direct. And select the external network&lt;/P&gt;</description>
