Overview

Central Network

Relying on the cloud backbone network, a central network allows you to easily set up a reliable, intelligent enterprise-grade network and manage global network resources on premises and on the cloud. By setting up a central network, you can enable communication between enterprise routers, as well as between enterprise routers and your on-premises data center, in the same region or different regions.

NOTE:

For details about the regions where central networks are available, see Region Availability.

Application Scenarios

  • Cross-region communication on the cloud: Enterprise routers in different regions are added to a central network as attachments so that resources in these regions can communicate with each other over one network.
    Figure 1 Cross-region communication between enterprise routers
  • Communication between on-premises data centers and the cloud: Enterprise routers and global DC gateways are added to a central network as attachments. In this way, multiple VPCs on the cloud can communicate with on-premises data centers across regions.
    Figure 2 Connectivity between enterprise routers and an on-premises data center
  • Global network: By flexibly changing the central network policies, you can build a global network more conveniently.

Central Network Constraints

  • To use a central network, the following resources must have been created:
    • Enterprise router: used to set up a central network
    • Global DC gateway: attached to an enterprise router for allowing on-premises data centers to access the cloud across regions
  • Policy management
    • A central network can only have one policy. If you apply another policy for this central network, the policy that was previously applied will be automatically cancelled.
    • In each policy, only one enterprise router can be added for a region. All added enterprise routers can communicate with each other by default.
    • A policy that is being applied or cancelled cannot be deleted.
  • Cross-site connection bandwidth management
    • A cross-site connection bandwidth cannot be changed or deleted when it is being created, updated, deleted, frozen, unfrozen, or is recovering.
    • The total of cross-site connection bandwidths cannot exceed the global connection bandwidth.
    • If a cross-site connection bandwidth is deleted, you will still be billed for the global connection bandwidth.

Configuration Process

Figure 3 shows the process of configuring a central network to manage global network resources.

Step

Description

Reference

1

Create a central network.

After an enterprise router is created, you can create a central network and add the enterprise router to a policy of the central network. In this way, resources can communicate with each other across regions, and network resources in each region can be managed centrally.

Creating a Central Network

2

(Optional) Add attachments.

Attach global DC gateways to the enterprise routers in a specific region of the central network to enable resources to communicate with each other across regions.

Adding Attachments

3

Assign cross-site connection bandwidth.

After adding enterprise routers or global DC gateways in different regions to the same policy, purchase a global connection bandwidth and assign bandwidth for cross-site connections.
