VDI Configuration Manual Using View Agent Direct-Connection Plug-In. Part 2

Network Configuration (HTML5)

Continuation of Part 1: Creating a VM from a Template

Prerequisites

Before configuring the VM, ensure the following:

  • Edge Gateways are properly configured
  • NAT port forwarding rules are set up for VADC connectivity

Required Ports for VADC Operation

VmWare View Agent Direct-Connection Plug-In uses the following ports:

Protocol Port Purpose
TCP 443 HTTPS (Primary connection)
TCP 3389 RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol)
TCP/UDP 4172 PCoIP (Remote display protocol)
TCP 32111 Framework Channel

Note:

  • The VM template is preconfigured for these ports.

  • If using non-standard external ports, use a sequential range (e.g., 1000→4431001→33891002→41721003→32111).

  • For multiple VMs, configure separate NAT rules for each.

NAT Configuration

1. Access Edge Gateway Settings

  1. Navigate to the EDGES tab.

  2. Select your ORGANIZATION_NAME_EDGE.

    • External IP Address and External Network details are visible here.

Go to CONFIGURE SERVICES → NAT tab.

Verify Existing Rules

  • SNAT Rule (Outgoing traffic)

  • DNAT Rule (Incoming RDP traffic on TCP 3389)

 

Add Missing SNAT Rule (If Needed)

Click + SNAT RULE.

 

Configure:

  • Applied On: Select your external network (from Step 1).

  • Original Source IP/Range: VM/internal network IP.

  • Translated (External) Source IP/Range: External IP (from Step 1).

  • Status: Enabled

  • Click KEEP to save.

 

Configure DNAT Rules for Incoming Traffic

Create 4 separate rules for:

  • TCP 443

  • TCP 3389

  • TCP & UDP 4172

  • TCP 32111

 

For Each Rule:

Click + DNAT RULE.

Configure:

  • Applied On: External network (from Step 1).

  • Original Source IP/Range: External IP.

  • Protocol: Select TCPUDP, or TCP & UDP as required.

  • Original Port: External port (e.g., 1000 for HTTPS).

  • Translated IP/Range: VM’s internal IP.

  • Translated Port: Corresponding internal port (e.g., 443).

  • Status: Enabled

  • Click KEEP to save.

 

Ensure all 4 DNAT rules are correctly configured.

Test connectivity using the assigned external ports.
