   Table 1 Parameters required for creating a VPC

   Category	Parameter	Description
   Basic Information	Region	A region is a geographical area where you can run your VPC service. Each region comprises one or more AZs and is completely isolated from other regions. Only AZs in the same region can communicate with one another through an internal network. You can use the region selector on the upper left of the page to change the region.
   	Name	VPC name
   	CIDR Block	CIDR block of the VPC. The CIDR block of a subnet can be the same as the CIDR block for the VPC (for a single subnet in the VPC) or a subset of the CIDR block for the VPC (for multiple subnets in the VPC). The following CIDR blocks are supported: 10.0.0.0/8~24 172.16.0.0/12~24 192.168.0.0/16~24 Configure the CIDR block based on the subnet information provided in Network Planning.
   	Enterprise Project	When creating a VPC, you can add the VPC to an enabled enterprise project. An enterprise project facilitates project-level management and grouping of cloud resources and users. The name of the default project is default. For details about creating and managing enterprise projects, see the Enterprise Management User Guide.
   	Tag	VPC tag that consists of a key and value pair You can create 10 tags for a VPC. This parameter is optional. Click Advanced Settings to configure it. For details about naming rules of tags, see Tag Naming Rules.
   Default Subnet	AZ	An AZ is a geographic location with independent power supply and network facilities in a region. AZs are physically isolated, and AZs in the same VPC are interconnected through private networks.
   	Name	Subnet name
   	CIDR Block	CIDR block for the subnet. This value must be within the VPC CIDR block. Configure the subnet CIDR block based on the information provided in Network Planning.
   	Advanced Settings	Click Advanced Settings to set parameters such as Gateway and DNS Server Address.
   	Gateway	Gateway address of the subnet
   	DNS Server Address	External DNS server addresses are used by default. If you need to change the DNS server address, ensure that the DNS server addresses you configured are available.
   	DHCP Lease Time	Period during which a client can use an IP address automatically assigned by the DHCP server. After the lease time expires, a new IP address will be assigned to the client. The unit is day.
   	Tag	Subnet tag that consists of a key and value pair You can add 10 tags for a subnet. This parameter is optional. For details about the tag naming rules, see VPC Tag Naming Rules.
   Add Subnet	You can click Add Subnet to add a subnet.
