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.
