Validate the VNET

At this point you should have a fully working VNET with a custom NFV appliance providing routing.

Validate the VNET by verifying the application assigned to VNET-ID-01:

# Guest has static IP in VNET subnet 
[root@app-01 ~]# ip addr show dev eth0 
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 
   link/ether b4:d1:35:00:23:4e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 
    inet 100.127.4.1/24 brd 100.127.4.255 scope global eth0 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 
    inet6 fe80::b6d1:35ff:fe00:234e/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 

# Default route is pointed at Inside interface of NFV 
[root@app-01 ~]# ip route 
default via 100.127.4.254 dev eth0 
100.127.4.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 100.127.4.1
