Creating a Logical Network, Port Profiles, and Logical Switches for external access
All the Logical Networks that have been defined so far are internal networks and the VMs have no external access. This recipe will show you how to create a Logical Network such that HNV gateways can have external access. The logical structure of the gateway is shown in the following diagram:
Using HNV gateways behind NAT devices can lead to difficulties in connecting to VPNs. It is advised in a production environment to ensure that gateways are not behind NAT devices.
Getting ready
As the gateway will be behind a NAT device, you will need to ensure that the NAT device is not issuing DHCP-based IP addresses. You will need to know the IP range of the NAT device. In the following recipes, the IP ranges will be as follows:
- Subnet: 192.168.200.0/24
- Gateway: 192.168.200.2
