Intercloud Fabric Advanced Routing Service provides advanced router functionality that is integrated with Intercloud Fabric. When Advanced Routing Service in enabled on an Intercloud Fabric cloud by creating an Intercloud Fabric link, an Advanced Routing Service VM is created in that Intercloud Fabric cloud and is connected to the Intercloud Fabric Switch.
Intercloud Fabric Advanced Routing Service acts as an edge device in Intercloud Fabric and provides a path for cloud VMs to access the internet from a cloud instead of passing through the enterprise.
The following guidelines and limitations apply to the Intercloud Fabric Advanced Routing Service:
The Intercloud Fabric Advanced Routing Service is only available on Amazon Web Services.
The Intercloud Fabric Advanced Routing Service is only supported in standalone mode.
If Advanced Routing Service is used by an Intercloud Fabric link in HA mode, a separate management network and transport network is required.
Each instance of Advanced Routing Service requires two IP addresses from the management network. If Advanced Routing Service is using a separate transport, one IP address is required from that network..
The Routing Service must be enable in an Intercloud Fabric cloud for there to be Advanced Routing Service functionality.
Enabling and configuring the Intercloud Fabric Advanced Routing Service involves the following high-level tasks:
Step 1 | Creating an Intercloud Fabric cloud with Advanced Routing Service and an Intercloud Fabric link. | ||
Step 2 | Creating a
virtual data center (VDC) that results in the
Advanced Routing Service
configuration.
| ||
Step 3 | Creating a
network that results in the
Advanced Routing Service
configuration.
See Creating Networks. | ||
Step 4 | Reconfiguring
a
Advanced Routing Service
instance (perform one of the following tasks):
| ||
Step 5 | Deleting an Intercloud Fabric link. |
Configuration updates to the Intercloud Fabric Advanced Routing Service occur automatically when performing one of the following tasks:
Creating a network
Deleting a Layer 3 data network
Modifying the cloud properties of a network
Creating the first VDC in an Intercloud Fabric cloud after successfully enabling the Routing Service
Deleting the last VDC in an Intercloud Fabric cloud that has a successfully enabled Routing Service
Enabling Routing Service after an Intercloud Fabric link is created.
Use this workflow procedure to enable Advanced Routing Service by enabling source NAT.
