Manage virtual network elements

Perform this task for Workspace to interoperate with the AD-DC controller for desktop tenant network isolation and granular bandwidth rate limit.

Prerequisites

Before you add a virtual network element, configure resource collaboration as described in "Manage collaborative managers" and configure location parameters for Space Console on the System > External Services > Third-Party System Collaboration page.

Add a virtual network element

  1. From the left navigation pane, select System > Advanced Settings > Network Element VMs.

  2. Click Add Network Element.

  3. Configure the following parameters and then click OK.

    • vRouter Name: Enter the vRouter name. You can specify the vRouter name as region ID+sequence number, for example, zhengzhouA_vSR01.

    • vRouter Management IP Address: To obtain this IP address, access the Automation > Data Center Networks > Resource Pools > Devices > Physical Devices page on the AD-DC controller.

    • vFirewall Name: Enter the vFirewall name. You can specify the vFirewall name as region ID+sequence number, for example, zhengzhouA_vFW01.

    • Managed VM Networks: Number of managed VM networks in real time.

    • Managed Desktop Pools: Number of managed desktop pools in real time.

    • External Network: Name of the external network on the AD-DC controller.

    • Max. VMs: Specify the maximum number of VMs attached to the vRouter. As a best practice, set a number not larger than 2000.

    • AD-DC Tenant: Tenant configured on the AD-DC controller.

    • Firewall Policy: Firewall policy configured on the AD-DC controller.

    • Firewall ID: To obtain the firewall ID, press F12 to launch DevTools on the AD-DC controller, navigate to the Automation > Data Center Networks > Tenant Management > All Tenants page, and then click Edit in the Actions column for the tenant. Click the Network tab. resource_id in IDservice_source represents the firewall ID.

    • External Network: To obtain the external network ID, press F12 to launch DevTools on the AD-DC controller, navigate to the Automation > Data Center Networks > Tenant Management > All Tenants > Virtual Router > External Network page, and then click Refresh. Click the Network tab. The ID in the rows line of ?page is the external network ID.

    • Gateway ID: To obtain the gateway ID, press F12 to launch DevTools on the AD-DC controller, navigate to the Automation > Data Center Networks > Tenant Management > All Tenants page, and then click Edit in the Actions column for the tenant. Click the Network tab. ID in gateway represents the gateway ID.

    • Subnet ID: To obtain the subnet ID, press F12 to launch DevTools on the AD-DC controller, navigate to the Automation > Data Center Networks > Tenant Management > All Tenants page, and then click Edit in the Actions column for the tenant. Click the Network tab. The value for subnets in the 0 line represents the subnet ID.

    • State: State of the vRouter.

Configure VPC network settings

  1. From the left navigation pane, select System > Advanced Settings > Network Element VMs.

  2. Click VPC Network Configuration.

  3. Configure the parameters as needed. Click OK.

    • Network Address: Specify the network address.

    • Subnet Gateway IP: Specify the subnet gateway for the VPC. The default is 192.168.%s.254. %s is automatically assigned by a desktop pool.

    • Subnet Address: Specify the subnet address for the VPC. The default is 192.168.%s.0/24. %s is automatically assigned by a desktop pool.

    • Start IP of DHCP Address Pool for VPC Subnet: Specify the start IP address of the DHCP pool on a desktop pool. The default is 192.168.%s.2. %s is automatically assigned by the desktop pool.

    • End IP of DHCP Address Pool for VPC Subnet: Specify the end IP address of the DHCP pool on a desktop pool. The default is 192.168.%s.101. %s is automatically assigned by the desktop pool.

    • Primary Node IP of VPC Controller: Specify the primary node IP of the VPC controller.

    • Secondary Node IP of VPC Controller: Specify secondary node IP of the VPC controller.

    • Virtual Node IP of VPC Controller: Specify the virtual node IP of the VPC controller.

View details about a virtual network element

  1. From the left navigation pane, select System > Advanced Settings > Network Element VMs.

  2. Click the name of a vRouter to view its information and the desktop pool list.

  3. To view detailed information about desktop pool, click the name of that desktop pool.

Delete a virtual network element

  1. From the left navigation pane, select System > Advanced Settings > Network Element VMs.

  2. Click Scale Down in the Actions column for a virtual network element. In the dialog box that opens, click OK.
