After reading a little bit more, I think I have found what I need. It is a provider network that I need for the VMs so that they can get access to the other resources in my main network ( such as other physical hosts that are connected to the same network ). My question is, is it possible to do this alongside the use case that I have followed ( Provider router with private networks)? If so how can I do this? Thanks. On 16 March 2013 01:46, Chathura M.
