Creating a User-defined Network

Prerequisites

Multi-NIC BMSs have been created.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Choose Service List > Computing > Bare Metal Server.

    The BMS console is displayed.

  3. On the User-defined Networks page, click Create User-defined Network.
  4. Set VPC, AZ, and User-defined Subnet.
    • Name: Enter a name as needed, for example, virtualnetwork-test.
    • VPC: Select the VPC created in section Preparing for the Deployment.
    • AZ: Select the AZ you have selected during BMS creation in Buying a BMS.
    • User-defined Subnet: The subnet mask is from 16 to 29 bits. The gateway IP address (x.x.x.1) of the user-defined subnet cannot be used by tenants. In addition, the CIDR of the user-defined subnet cannot conflict with that of the VPC subnet. An example is 10.10.10.0/24.

      You also need to enter the VLAN value following the user-defined subnet. The value ranges from 1 to 4094. In addition, the VLAN of each user-defined subnet of the same user-defined network must be unique.

  5. Click OK.

    After the user-defined network is created successfully, it is displayed in the list of user-defined networks.

  6. Click virtualnetwork-test to enter the page showing details of the user-defined network.

  7. Click 10.10.10.0/24 to enter the page showing details of the user-defined subnet.

    On the BMSs tab page, you can view the created multi-NIC BMSs.
