  3. Agenda • Networking Overview • External Network • Organization Network • vApp Network • Network Pools • What’s New in vCloud Director 1.5 • Example Use Cases • Q & A

  4. Networking Overview • Layers of Networking • External Network • Organization Network • vApp Network • The three layers are managed either by: • Provider: External and Organization Networks • Consumer: vApp Networks

  5. External Network: Overview • Created at the vSphere level as a port group on a vSS or vDS • Port group is mapped to a vCloud Director external network • Mapping is on a one to one basis • Use cases • Internet access • Provider supplied network endpoints • IP based storage • Backup servers • Access to physical managed services • Backhauled networking to a customer datacenter • VPN access to a private cloud • MPLS termination *vSS = VMware Standard Switch *vDS = VMware Distributed Switch (or equivalent such as Nexus 1000V)

  6. External Networks: In vSphere • Dedicate vDS for statically mapped networks i.e. “Provider vDS” • Avoid vSS unless using scripting to duplicate port groups to hosts • Use unique VLANs per port group to avoid broadcast overlap • Below is an example of VLAN isolated External Networks:

  7. External Networks: In VMware vCloud Director • In VMware vCloud Director, create an external network by mapping it to a portgroup • Portgroups are associated with vCenter servers so care should be taken in naming • Use meaningful names for Portgroups such as Organization_Purpose

  8. Organization Networks: Overview • Contained within an organization • Allows vApps within the organization to communicate with each other or external endpoints • Can be connected to external networks as: • Public (External Org Direct) • Bridged connection to an external network • Others outside the organization can see • Private Routed (External Org NAT-Routed) • Connected to an External Network through a vShield Edge • Can be configured for NAT & Firewall • …or left unconnected to external • Private Internal (Internal Org) • No External connectivity • Backed by Network Pools

  9. Organization Networks: In VMware vCloud Director • Creating NAT-Routed and Isolated Org Networks: • Select the type of Org Network to create using the typical radio button and dropdown box

  10. Organization Networks: In VMware vCloud Director • Creating Isolated Organization Network: • Select the Network Pool to use for the Internal Network • Assign internal addressing for the Internal Network

  11. Organization Networks: In VMware vCloud Director • Creating NAT-Routed Organization Network: • Select the External Networkto attach • Select the Network Pool to usefor the Internal Network behindthe vShield Edge. • Assign internal addressing forthe Inside portion of Org Network

  12. vApp Networks: Overview • Contained within a vApp • Inherently Private Internal • Allows VMs in a vApp to communicate with each other or …by connecting them to Org networks, other vApps • Can be connected to Org Networks as • Public (Direct) • Bridged connection to a organization network • Private Routed • Connected to a organization network through a vShield Edge • Can be configured for NAT & Firewall • Backed by a Network Pool

  13. Network Pools: Overview • A set of pre-configured network resources that can be used for Organization and vApp Networks • Picture these as a collection of preconfigured switches that can be assigned to organizations or vApps • Three Types of Network Pools in VMware vCloud Director • Portgroup-backed • VLAN-backed • vCloud Network Isolation-backed (vCD-NI)

  14. Network Pools: Portgroup-backed • Requires • Preconfigured portgroups at the vSphere layer • Assign meaningful names so its obvious they are part of a pool • If using vSS portgroups, they must exist on all ESX/ESXi hosts in the cluster • How it works • The VI administrator manually creates the portgroups • vCD Admin is given a list of unused portgroups to use for the pool • Advantages • Works with all types of vSwitches • Disadvantages • Requires manual work or orchestration to create all of the portgroups • Portgroups needs to be keep in sync on a vSS • To ensure isolation portgroups rely on VLANs for L2 isolation

  15. Network Pools: VLAN-backed • Requires • A vDS that’s connected to all ESXi hosts in your cluster • A range of unused VLANs • How it works • vCD admin creates the network pool and chooses an “Organization vDS” to associate it with, then provides a range of valid VLANs, for example, 10 – 15 • When an network is needed, vCD will automatically create a portgroup on the vDS and assign it an unused VLAN ID from those assigned • Many vCD generated portgroups can coexist on the same vDS because they are isolated using VLAN tagging • Advantages • Isolated networks • No pre-configuration needed by VI administrators • Disadvantages • Requires VLANs to exist on physical switches in use • VLANs are limited in supply and may not even be available at all

  16. Network Pools: VLAN-backed in VMware vCloud Director • VLAN-backed: • define the VLAN range for the pool and select the vDS to provision the portgoups on

  17. Network Pools: VLAN-backed in vSphere • VLAN-backed Example: • The VLAN-backed network pool was defined to use the range 10-15 • The routed external Org Network was called EmcaInternet • A Static binding port group was created with a vShield Edge attached • Looking at the portgroup shows the portgroup used VLAN 10 and is named dvs.VCDVSEmcaInternet-8dc9e26f-6783-4678-abaa-b5609114f6ca

  18. Network Pools: vCloud Network Isolation • VMware proprietary network isolation technology • vCD-NI “networks” span hosts and are represented as portgroups on a vDS • Setup: • Designate a “Transport Network” – an actual layer 2 segment to carry the packets for vCD-NI networks • Decide how many networks you want in the pool, up to 1000 supported • Individual vCD-NI Networks are isolated from each other and the Transport Network via MAC-in-MAC encapsulation • Technical details: • Implemented with MAC-in-MAC encapsulation • Encapsulation handled by dvFilterVMkernel module • Can cause frame fragmentation with default MTU • Requires a small increase in MTU to 1524 or higher

  19. Network Pools: vCloud Network Isolation-backed • Requires • A vDS that’s connected to all ESXi hosts in your cluster • How it works: • vCD creates an overlay “transport” network for each isolated network to carry encapsulated traffic • Each overlay network is assigned a Network ID number • Encapsulation contains source and destination information of hosts where VM endpoints reside as well as the Network ID • ESXi host strips the vCD-NI packet to expose the VM source and destination MAC addressed packet that is delivered to the destination VM • Advantages: • Does not require VLANs (can optionally set a VLAN ID for the transport network; leaving blank defaults to 0) • Disadvantages: • Small performance overhead due to encapsulation (dvFilter) • Added MAC header require an increase in MTU same as in MPLS networks • vCD-NI is for layer 2 adjacency and not for routed networks • vCD-NI is only for VMs and cannot be accessed by physical hosts

  20. Network Pools: vCloud Network Isolation in vSphere • vCD-NI-backed Example: • A vCD-NI-Backed Pool where transport VLAN is 99 was created • The VI portgroup does not reflect isolation, just the transport VLAN used for the vCD-NI

  21. Expanded vShield Integration Overview • Integration with vShield IPSec VPN capabilities through both API & UI • Expanded firewall capabilities to include full 5-tuple firewalls and static routing5-tuple: Protocol, SRC/DST IP, SRC/DST Port Virtual Datacenter: Remote Virtual Datacenter: Local WAN Edge Edge Benefits • Organization administrators can configure private networking enclave connected back to corporate datacenters • 5-tuple firewalls allows fully flexible network access management—control source & destination.

  22. IPSec Site to Site VPN • Enable Site to Site VPN connections using vCloud Director • Configured by the organization administrator on a routed org network

  23. Setting Up VPN Tunnels • Connecting to organization network to setup VPN tunnel is really easy • vCloud URL • Organization Name • Credentials • Setup Site to Site VPN connections in a matter of minutes • Self-service • Only 4 pieces of information needed • No need to call or email the vCloud administrator

  24. IPSec VPN Tunnel Configuration Types • Tunnel tonetwork in another organization • Tunnel to network in this organization • Tunnel to a remote network Org Network Org Network VPN Org Network Org Network Org Network Org B Org A Org A Org C VPN Private/Public vCloud Public Cloud Private Cloud vCloud VPN Endpoint (vShield Edge, 3rd Party) VPN

  25. IPSec VPN • AES or 3DES encryption

  26. Five Tuple Firewalls • Create complex firewall rules for enhanced security • Inbound and outbound rules • Firewall rules now can be configured for: • source address • source port • protocol • destination port • destination address • Support for ICMP protocol in addition to TCP and UDP

  27. Static Routing

  28. Third Party Distributed Switch Integration Overview • Support for broader range of network pool types in third party distributed switches • Support VLAN-backed networks • Requires vShield Manager 5 Third Party Distributed Switch Benefits • Leverage third party switches – • automatic portgroup creation now enabled • Leverage third party tools for network monitoring in conjunction with vCloud deployments.
