Shared Networks

Hi all!



What is the purpose of shared networks? I cannot make them accessible to the internet (in our case, the office network) unless they are on isolated VLANs with static (or source) NAT. I would like the VMS to exist as if they were on the office network without having to acquire a static IP address and without having to handle virtual firewall settings but am unsure of how to proceed. Any advice/suggestions? I've looked into the documentation but am failing to see configurations for this specific scenario.



Thanks in advance!

  *   create a shared network
     *   During creation specify the tagged VLAN your office network is on
     *   Specify the office n/w ip range that you want your Vms to be on
     *   Specify a gateway for the above range (This will be an existing GW that you are already using for your office n/w)
     *   Make sure the physical network (/NIC) where you are creating the shared n/w is connected to a switch port that is trunked / allowed your office VLAN

Unfortunately, this does not work. This solution created a shared network with a virtual router. This virtual router "hides" the VMs behind it from the office router.
