Launching routers using the Cloud management portal¶

To launch a router from the cloud management portal, follow these steps:

• Press “Networking” and then “Routers” in the sidebar menu.

• Press the “+” icon in the bottom right corner.

• Under region, “europe-se-1” should be pre-selected.

• Name your router and optionally provide a description.

• Under “availability zone (hints)”, select the availability zone to place the router in. If you are unsure, select “europe-se-1a” here.

• Under “select external network”, choose the network that corresponds to the availability zone you selected.

• The “admin state up” should be selected. It controls whether the router can receive traffic (that is: that its provisioned in the platform and not just in the portal).

• Press “create” in the lower right corner.
