Managing networks using the cloud management portal

Create a network

To create a network from the Cloud management portal, follow these steps:

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

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

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

  • Name your network and optionally provide a description.

  • Under “availability zone (hints)”, select the availability zone that your router or instance to which you want to connect the network is placed in.

  • 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 network can receive traffic (that is: that its provisioned in the platform and not just in the portal).

  • Press “create” in the lower right corner.

Note

In order to connect an instance or router to the network, you will also need to create a subnet which you can then attach to an interface on a router or an instance.
