Creating a NAT Network Profile

Owned by Jyothi KP

To create a NAT network profile:

  1. In vRealize Automation, click Infrastructure –> Reservations –> Network Profiles –> New –> NAT.
  2. In the General tab, specify a name for the NAT network profile.
  3. In IPAM endpoint, select the Infoblox NIOS endpoint that you created previously.

  4. In External network profile, select the Infoblox network profile that you created previously for allocating external IP addresses.
    Note that if the NAT network is of “One-to-One” type, the corresponding external network profile must contain only one network or network range. Also, it must have at least two available IP addresses.

  5. In NAT type, select One-to-One or One-to-Many.

  6. In Subnet mask, specify the subnet mask for internal IP addressing.

  7. In Gateway, specify the address of the network where internal NAT ranges will be created.

  8. In the DNS tab, specify the DHCP options for the network. If no options are specified here, they are inherited from the network indicated in the external network profile.

  9. In the Network Ranges tab, specify the details for the range or ranges to be created. The ranges must reside in the same network that the gateway you specified earlier. For a “One-to-Many” NAT network, you can add as many ranges as you need. If the IP address allocation from a range fails, an attempt is made to allocate an address from another range, and so on. 

  10. Click Apply, and then OK.
