Display public networks
To display public networks:
Go to Infrastructure → Private → select datacenter → servers view → Networks → Public
You can filter the list using the search boxes above the Networks list. You can scroll through the network list using the page number and arrow buttons at the bottom of the list. And you can search for text to filter the list by network names.
...
On the right side of the screen, in the Public IPs pane, you will see details of the IPs of the selected network.
To sort by a column, click in the header of the column.
To filter the results by any field, use the Search button.
To navigate through the pages, use the page scroll

Create public networks
Before you begin:
Obtain the network details from your Network Administrator
For NSX-T obtain the provider ID, which is the network path
For other systems, obtain the network address, network mask and tag, gateway, and so on
To create a public network do these steps:
Go to Infrastructure → Private → select datacenter → servers view → Networks → Public
Click the + add button at the top of the Networks list
For NSX-T, first select the Device
...
Field | Value |
|---|---|
Name | The name of the public VLAN with up to 128 characters |
IPv6 | To create an IPv6 network, select this checkbox |
Strict | For IPv6 networks only. If you select Strict, the platform will automatically generate EUI64 IP addresses. |
Address | The network address of the VLAN |
Netmask | The network mask in CIDR format. For IPv4, the value can be from 16 to 30 inclusive, and for IPv6, enter a value of 64, 56, or 48 |
Gateway | The gateway of the network that must be within the range defined by the network address and the network mask |
Tag* | Enter the VLAN or VXLAN tag to use for this network |
Check | Click to check tag availability for all the racks of the Abiquo datacenter.
|
Network service type | Choose the Network Service Type, which assigns the network to network interfaces on the hypervisors |
Device | Optional device that defines a network virtualization system that will manage the IP addresses of this network. They may be assigned using its DHCP service. Ensure that VMs deployed on this network allow traffic to the appropriate ports for a DHCP connection. |
Primary DNS | Address of the primary DNS |
Secondary DNS | Address of the secondary DNS |
DNS suffix | The default DNS suffix |
Restricted | Select to create a Restricted network so that users require privileges to Attach NICs in restricted networks and/or Detach NICs from restricted networks |
Excluded from firewall | Select Excluded from firewall to define a network where VM firewalls will not apply |
Static routes | Click "Manage" to add and modify static routes. |
Provider ID | For NSX-T public networks, enter the path to the Tier 0 segment in the NSX-T system. |
For NSX-T, you can register a network that your network administrator created in NSX-T.
Abiquo will reserve the first 20 addresses of this network for load balancers
You cannot use a reserved address for a DHCP server
After you select the Device (nsxt-device), enter the Provider ID and select the Network service type.
...
Create static routes
To add a Static Route when you create or edit an IPv4 network:
Select the Define checkbox.
Enter the details of the static route.
For example, to add a static route to the network/netmask 1.1.1.0/24 via the gateway/next hop 10.10.100.1
Enter the destination Netmask, e.g. 255.255.255.0 (the above screenshot may differ)
Enter the destination Network ID, e.g. 1.1.1.0
Enter the Gateway IP, which is the next hop on your network, e.g. 10.10.100.1
Click Save and the platform will add the static routes to the VM network configuration.
