Public VCF as-a-Service - Linking a public IP block with vRack

View as Markdown

When you order a new Public VCF as-a-Service organization, a vRack and a block of public IP addresses are delivered to you. This IP block is not directly linked to your vRack. You will need to link it manually.

 

Requirements

OVHcloud Control Panel Access

  • Direct link: Public VCF as-a-Service
  • Navigation path: Hosted Private Cloud > Public VCF as-a-Service > Select your organization

 

Instructions

Retrieve the vRack ID

From your VCF as-a-Service organization, select the Virtual Datacenters tab. Locate the vRack associated with your organization; it will appear with an ID in the format pn-xxxxxxx.

Click the name of your vRack.

Virtual datacenters - Link IP to vRack

 

Add the IP block to the vRack

Select the vRack that you just identified.

Select the IP block to link to your vRack/organization and click Add.

IP vRack - Link to

The public IP block is now linked to your vRack.

To make these addresses usable inside your Public VCF as-a-Service environment, you also need to declare the public gateway in VMware Cloud Director (VCD).

Follow the guide Public VCF as-a-Service - Declare the public IP gateway in VCD to complete this step.
