Create racks

To create a rack:

1. Go to Infrastructure → Private → select a datacenter
2. At the bottom of the Physical servers list, click the + add button and select Rack
   
3. Enter the Name and optional values
   
4. Go to Network
   1. For Network ID min and Network ID max, enter the range of the VLAN or VXLAN tags to use on this rack for private networks
   2. In Excluded VLAN IDs, enter a comma-separated list of ranges (with a dash "-") and/or individual tags that you will use for other networks.
   3. In Reserved VLANs per VDC enter the number of VLANs that you expect VDCs to use. Note that this is not a real reservation, but it will prevent the creation of too many VDCs on the rack!
   4. In VLAN pool size enter the number of VLANs to reserve for VDCs that use more than the expected number
   
5. Click Save
