+ Adding Multiple IP Ranges + + The feature can only be implemented on IPv4 addresses. + + &PRODUCT; provides you with the flexibility to add guest IP ranges from different subnets in + Basic zones and security groups-enabled Advanced zones. For security groups-enabled Advanced + zones, it implies multiple subnets can be added to the same VLAN. With the addition of this + feature, you will be able to add IP address ranges from the same subnet or from a different one + when IP address are exhausted. This would in turn allows you to employ higher number of subnets + and thus reduce the address management overhead. + Ensure that you manually configure the gateway of the new subnet before adding the IP range. + Note that &PRODUCT; supports only one gateway for a subnet; overlapping subnets are not + currently supported. + You can also delete IP ranges. This operation fails if an IP from the remove range is in + use. If the remove range contains the IP address on which the DHCP server is running, &PRODUCT; + acquires a new IP from the same subnet. If no IP is available in the subnet, the remove + operation fails. + This feature is supported on KVM, xenServer, and VMware hypervisors. + + + Log in to the &PRODUCT; UI as an administrator or end user. + + + In the left navigation, choose Infrastructure. + + + On Zones, click View More, then click the zone to which you want to work with.. + + + Click Physical Network. + + + In the Guest node of the diagram, click Configure. + + + Click Networks. + + + Select the networks you want to work with. + + + Click View IP Ranges. + + + Click Add IP Range. + The Add IP Range dialog is displayed, as follows: + + + + + + add-ip-range.png: adding an IP range to a network. + + + + + Specify the following: + All the fields are mandatory. + + + Gateway: The gateway for the tier you create. + Ensure that the gateway is within the Super CIDR range that you specified while creating + the VPC, and is not overlapped with the CIDR of any existing tier within the VPC. + + + Netmask: The netmask for the tier you create. + For example, if the VPC CIDR is 10.0.0.0/16 and the network tier CIDR is + 10.0.1.0/24, the gateway of the tier is 10.0.1.1, and the netmask of the tier is + 255.255.255.0. + + + Start IP/ End IP: A range of IP addresses that are + accessible from the Internet and will be allocated to guest VMs. Enter the first and + last IP addresses that define a range that &PRODUCT; can assign to guest VMs . + + + + + Click OK. + + +
