Public Networks allow the users of virtual datacenters to use Internet addressable public IP addresses in their virtual infrastructure. Users purchase or reserve public IPs for their enterprises in Virtual datacenters view. Public networks are not assigned to any specific enterprise in Abiquo and they cannot be set as the default network for an enterprise. They can be set as the default network for a virtual datacenter, but make sure that you have made enough public IP addresses available to the users and that the users have reserved enough public IP addresses for their VMs.

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. After you select the Device (nsxt-device), enter the Provider ID and select the Network service type.  |

Create static routes
| Excerpt |
|---|
|
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
|
...
 Image AddedEnter 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.
| Note |
|---|
The platform will configure the static routes in VMs using the network configuration method so it may not always be possible to update the static routes in a deployed VM. If you are using DHCP to configure VMs, changes to static routes will be received by the VMs when they reconnect to the DHCP server; for example, after they are restarted.
