VIC plugin throws a parsing error when customer tries to specify only the gateway for management network.

[zjs]

When you provide a gateway for the management network, it's mandatory to provide at least one routing destination. UI Plugin doesn't reflect that. It has two separate fields for Gateway and Routing destinations. If the customer doesn't provide both the fields properly, plugin throws a weird parsing error [Refer to the screenshot].

There should be just one text field, Routing Destinations:Gateway along with a tooltip/help which explains this configuration.

The same thing applies to client network configurations as well.

@jak-atx It rather looks like an enhancement than a bug - we should provide more helpful message instead of parsing error. We do have this requirement in the documentation that routing destination must be provided if there's a gateway.

Proposed release note:

• Create Virtual Container Host wizard plugin throws a parsing error when you specify only the gateway for the management or client networks. #7602
  When you provide a gateway for the management or client network, it is mandatory to provide at least one routing destination. The Create Virtual Container Host wizard does not conform to this behavior and has two separate fields for the Gateway and Routing destinations. If you do not fill in both the fields correctly, the wizard reports a parsing error.

I added this in both the vic and vic-ui release notes.

From discussion with @pdaigle: Management network should be restructured to make it clearer that the when a gateway is entered, one or more routing destinations must be entered. Client-side validation should be added to enforce this. This will be more consistent with the CLI.

Updated mockups to show "Routing destination:Gateway" and relabeled hint text for static IP to be "IP range or CIDR"

UI change, so doc needs to be updated accordingly.

@zjs ,I noticed before "Routing destination" is not required field, so now, both Gateway and Routing destination are required. Right?

After modification:

I also update the tooltips to make it more clear for users.
For example:
Routing destination:
IP addresses are not valid,please input one or more routing destinations in a comma separated list, e.g. 10.1.0.0/16,10.2.0.0/16:10.0.0.1

fixed by pr:#583

I think this is worth a release note, as it fixes a previously release noted issue: vmware/vic#7602 (comment)
