+
+ Configuring a Shared Guest Network
+
+
+ Log in to the CloudPlatform UI as administrator.
+
+
+ In the left navigation, choose Infrastructure.
+
+
+ On Zones, click View More.
+
+
+ Click the zone to which you want to add a guest network.
+
+
+ Click the Physical Network tab.
+
+
+ Click the physical network you want to work with.
+
+
+ On the Guest node of the diagram, click Configure.
+
+
+ Click the Network tab.
+
+
+ Click Add guest network.
+ The Add guest network window is displayed.
+
+
+ Specify the following:
+
+
+ Name: The name of the network. This will be visible
+ to the user.
+
+
+ Description: The short description of the network
+ that can be displayed to users.
+
+
+ VLAN ID: The unique ID of the VLAN.
+
+
+ Isolated VLAN ID: The unique ID of the Secondary
+ Isolated VLAN.
+
+
+ Scope: The available scopes are Domain, Account,
+ Project, and All.
+
+
+ Domain: Selecting Domain limits the scope of
+ this guest network to the domain you specify. The network will not be available for
+ other domains. If you select Subdomain Access, the guest network is available to all
+ the sub domains within the selected domain.
+
+
+ Account: The account for which the guest
+ network is being created for. You must specify the domain the account belongs
+ to.
+
+
+ Project: The project for which the guest
+ network is being created for. You must specify the domain the project belongs
+ to.
+
+
+ All: The guest network is available for all the
+ domains, account, projects within the selected zone.
+
+
+
+
+ Network Offering: If the administrator has
+ configured multiple network offerings, select the one you want to use for this
+ network.
+
+
+ Gateway: The gateway that the guests should
+ use.
+
+
+ Netmask: The netmask in use on the subnet the
+ guests will use.
+
+
+ IP Range: A range of IP addresses that are
+ accessible from the Internet and are assigned to the guest VMs.
+ If one NIC is used, these IPs should be in the same CIDR in the case of IPv6.
+
+
+ IPv6 CIDR: The network prefix that defines the
+ guest network subnet. This is the CIDR that describes the IPv6 addresses in use in the
+ guest networks in this zone. To allot IP addresses from within a particular address
+ block, enter a CIDR.
+
+
+ Network Domain: A custom DNS suffix at the level of
+ a network. If you want to assign a special domain name to the guest VM network, specify
+ a DNS suffix.
+
+
+
+
+ Click OK to confirm.

- Isolated Networks
- An isolated network can be accessed only by virtual machines of a single account. Isolated networks have the following properties.
-
- Resources such as VLAN are allocated and garbage collected dynamically
- There is one network offering for the entire network

- A shared network can be accessed by virtual machines that belong to many different

- Shared Networks are created by the administrator
- Shared Networks can be designated to a certain domain
- Shared Network resources such as VLAN and physical network that it maps to are designated by the administrator
- Shared Networks are isolated by security groups
