About Inter-VLAN Routing

203

This feature is supported on XenServer and VMware hypervisors.

The major advantages are:

• The administrator can deploy a set of VLANs and allow users to deploy VMs on these VLANs. A

guest VLAN is randomly alloted to an account from a pre-specified set of guest VLANs. All the VMs

of a certain tier of an account reside on the guest VLAN allotted to that account.

Note

A VLAN allocated for an account cannot be shared between multiple accounts.

• The administrator can allow users create their own VPC and deploy the application. In this scenario,

the VMs that belong to the account are deployed on the VLANs allotted to that account.

• Both administrators and users can create multiple VPCs. The guest network NIC is plugged to the

VPC virtual router when the first VM is deployed in a tier.

• The administrator can create the following gateways to send to or receive traffic from the VMs:

•VPN Gateway: For more information, see Section 16.24.4.2, “Creating a VPN gateway for the

VPC”.

•Public Gateway: The public gateway for a VPC is added to the virtual router when the virtual

router is created for VPC. The public gateway is not exposed to the end users. You are not

allowed to list it, nor allowed to create any static routes.

•Private Gateway: For more information, see Section 16.27.5, “Adding a Private Gateway to a

VPC”.

• Both administrators and users can create various possible destinations-gateway combinations.

However, only one gateway of each type can be used in a deployment.

For example:

•VLANs and Public Gateway: For example, an application is deployed in the cloud, and the Web

application VMs communicate with the Internet.

•VLANs, VPN Gateway, and Public Gateway: For example, an application is deployed in

the cloud; the Web application VMs communicate with the Internet; and the database VMs

communicate with the on-premise devices.

• The administrator can define Access Control List (ACL) on the virtual router to filter the traffic among

the VLANs or between the Internet and a VLAN. You can define ACL based on CIDR, port range,

protocol, type code (if ICMP protocol is selected) and Ingress/Egress type.

The following figure shows the possible deployment scenarios of a Inter-VLAN setup:
