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.

Display public networks

To display public networks:

1. 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.

Create public networks

Excerpt
name 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 Image Removed Image Added 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. Green: available Yellow: in use by other networks but can be reused Red: not available because it is excluded by rack configuration. 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.

Excerpt
name 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 Image Removed Image Added 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.  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.

...

To assign a network as the default for a virtual datacenter do these steps:

1. Go to Virtual datacenters → select virtual datacenter → Network → network type, e.g. Private

2. Create or edit a network

3. 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

...

Edit a public network

To edit the Network Information for the public network

1. Go to Infrastructure → Private → select a datacenter → Network → Public

2. Edit the public network

...

When you edit a public network, you can change some or all of the following fields, depending on whether you have VMs deployed in the network or not.

...

To delete a public network:

1. Go to  Infrastructure → Private → select a datacenter → Network → Public

2. Select the public network

3. Click the delete button

...

Put an IP address on a deny list

...

To change quarantine status:

1. Select one or more IP addresses

2. Click the quarantine (!) symbol and confirm

Selected IPs that were not in quarantine will be put into quarantine. Selected IPs that were already in quarantine will be removed from quarantine.
