To create new IP addresses in a private network do these steps.
Go to Virtual datacenters → optionally select a virtual datacenter
Go to Networks → Private → select a private network
On the Private IPs page, click the add + button and enter details
Or you can add an IP directly to a VM. To do this:
Go to Virtual datacenters → Edit VM → Network
Click the add + button and enter details (or drag the Auto-generated IP label into the Network pane)
...
Enter the Number of IPs to create and the From IP address (the first in the range). The From IP address must be a new address that does not already exist in the network. After creating the first IP address, the platform will try to create the other IPs and it will skip any existing IP addresses.
For example, if you have IP addresses in network 30.30.30.30, which are 30, 33, and 34 and then you request 3 new IPs from 30.30.30.31. The new IPs created should be as follows: 31, 32, 35.
...
To edit a private network
Go to Virtual datacenters → select a virtual datacenter → Network
Select Private and select the network
Click the pencil edit button below the Networks list
If there are no VMs deployed in the network, you can change the Name, Gateway, Static routes, and make the network the new default for the virtual datacenter
The gateway must be an IP address inside the range defined by the network address and the network mask
Optionally, change the DNS settings. The new settings will apply to all VMs deployed after you save the network
Click Save
...
Delete a private network
You can delete a private network if no VMs are using its IPs and it is not the default network for the virtual datacenter.
To delete a private network:
Go to Virtual datacenters → select a virtual datacenter → Network → Private
Select the network and click the delete button below the networks list.

To assign a network as the default for a virtual datacenter do these steps:
Go to Virtual datacenters → select virtual datacenter → Network → network type, e.g. Private
Create or edit a network
Select the Default network checkbox
This default will override the platform default network and any network set for the enterprise in the datacenter
The new default network will apply to all VMs deployed after you set it
For a public network that is the virtual datacenter default, obtain IP addresses for your VMs before you deploy

To add new public IP addresses to your virtual datacenter:
Click the + Add button on the Public IPs page to display the list of available public IPs
To move between pages, use pagination controls such as arrows and page numbers
To filter your search, enter an IP address or Network name in the Search filter box
Select IP addresses to add them to your virtual datacenter
Click Add to reserve the IPs
The platform will add the IPs to your VDC

In private cloud with NSX-T, you can delete network resources by deleting the virtual datacenters. The platform will automatically remove VMs, virtual appliances, load balancers, public IPs, and firewalls from the virtual datacenter. The firewalls will remain in the enterprise and you can reuse them. When you delete a virtual datacenter, public IPs that are not used by VMs will remain in the provider and the synchronization process will delete them.
Limit network bandwith with QoS
You can limit network bandwidth of public IPs and for VDCs with NAT networks. For more details see the following documentation.
