To define how the virtual machines in a vApp connect to each other and access other networks, you need to create a vApp network. When creating the vApp network, you can select the settings for the network, or adopt them from an organization policy.

To address multiple networking scenarios for a vApp, you can create multiple vApp networks.

When you do not want the virtual machines in a vApp to connect to objects outside the vApp, you must create an isolated vApp network.

To provide a vApp network with DHCP, firewall, NAT, and VPN services, you must create it as an NAT routed vApp network.

To establish a network connection between the virtual machines in a vApp and an organization network, you need to create a direct vApp network.
