We are using vCD 5.1.1 and vCNS 5.1.2 . We have an external internet facing network with 2 IP ranges. Noticed a couple of quirky problems configuring edge.
1. When creating an edge as part of the creation of a vDC if you don't tick the box to configure IP settings for the edge (assuming you will do it later) AND the first external IP range (sorts by numerical order) is exhausted the edge will fail to create along with any organizational network you also specified to create. It appears that by default the edge will try to assign an external IP from the first IP subnet in the list, if this IP range has been exhausted edge creation will fail. To get around this you can tick the box to configure IP settings when creating the edge you then can then untick the "participate" box next to the exhausted IP range. This then allows the edge to pick on IP from you non-exhausted IP range and creates succesfully and the edge all works OK.
2. Even if you use the workround above there is a bug in that when you right click the edge and select "External IP Allocations" it shows as blank even though the edge is functioning OK. You can view the assigned external IP by going into the properties of the edge and clciking on the IP settings tab.
The above appear to be bugs, anyone know how to log these with VMware as bugs ?
Thanks
Mark.
