17.4. Virtual Router
The virtual router is a type of System Virtual Machine. The virtual router is one of the most frequently
used service providers in CloudPlatform. The end user has no direct access to the virtual router. Users
can ping the virtual router and take actions that affect it (such as setting up port forwarding), but users
do not have SSH access into the virtual router.
There is no mechanism for the administrator to log in to the virtual router. Virtual routers can be
restarted by administrators, but this will interrupt public network access and other services for end
users. A basic test in debugging networking issues is to attempt to ping the virtual router from a guest
VM. Some of the characteristics of the virtual router are determined by its associated system service
offering.
17.4.1. Configuring the Virtual Router
You can set the following:
• IP range
• Supported network services
• Default domain name for the network serviced by the virtual router
• Gateway IP address
• How often CloudPlatform fetches network usage statistics from CloudPlatform virtual routers. If you
want to collect traffic metering data from the virtual router, set the global configuration parameter
router.stats.interval. If you are not using the virtual router to gather network usage statistics, set it to
0.
