VMware

Virtual Lab Support for Network Mapping and IP Customization

You can set up a virtual lab in an isolated virtual environment for a VMware destination to perform a test failover operation for a replication group.

A virtual lab in the isolated network provides the following capabilities:

  • Use a network configuration in the virtual lab to mirror the network configuration of the production environment.
  • Use a test network mapping to map a source network with an isolated network and VLAN ID to perform a test failover operation.
  • Use a masqueraded IP address on the gateway appliance to forward the traffic from the external network to the test failover VMs on the private network.
  • Use test VM IP customization and IP masquerading at the VM level, and IP masquerading range at the replication group level.
