Private Networking

Overview​

This guide assumes that you have a separate network bridge (br0) that is connected to a secondary physical interface either with a vlan or interconnected on a switch with other servers. This guide also assumes you already have an Instance with public network that is deployed

Adding a private subnet​

  • If you have setup a VLAN for private networking among all hypervisors over secondary physical interface then you can select multiple hypervisors here for the same subnet to be used everywhere.
  • If you haven't setup for inter-hypervisors connectivity and only looking for inter-instance connectivty over the same hypervisor server, then you can select only 1 hypervisor from the list.

Add Subnet

Generating IP(s)​

  • On the right hand side, you can see that there's an option to generate IP(s) from a starting IP to the ending IP in consecutive order.
  • We have used 10.0.0.2 - 10.0.0.253 as an example for our use case.

Generate IP

IP addresses​

  • You can review the generated IP(s) in the Connectivity > IP Addresses

IP Addresses

Adding secondary interface​

  • By clicking the Create Interface button, you can activate the secondary interface which will automatically get an IP assigned.

After Interface is created​

  • Interface is now created, and attached to your Instance, an IP is also assigned in the page as you can see 10.0.0.2
  • With this your Instance can now communicate over private network with other Instances, within your hypervisor or other hypervisors if you have created a VLAN in your network switch.
