Introduction to address ranges

When users create a VDC in public cloud, they can specify the address range for the VDC to use as part of a custom private network configuration. The platform will then use this address space to define the virtual datacenter network and create the private networks as subnets in this address space. The platform will onboard address ranges from your virtual datacenters in public cloud.

Create an address range

There are two ways to create an address range in a provider that supports address ranges, including AWS and Azure ARM

To create the first address range for a virtual datacenter:

Go to Cloud → Virtual datacenters
Click + Add to create a virtual datacenter
Select a provider that supports address ranges, for example, Amazon AWS and Azure ARM
Select Custom private network
Enter the details of the virtual datacenter and the custom network
For the Address range, enter a network address in CIDR format. Usually the network will have a netmask of /16, for example, 192.168.0.0/16.

Create an address range: create virtual datacenter

To create an additional address range.

Go to Cloud→ Virtual datacenters → select a virtual datacenter
Go to Network → Address ranges
Click the + Add button
Enter a network address in CIDR format that is compatible your provider. Usually this network will have a netmask of /16, for example, 192.168.0.0/16.

Delete an address range

You can only delete an address range that is not blocked by the provider.

To delete an address range:

Go to Cloud → select a virtual datacenter
Go to Networks → Address ranges
Select the address range and click the trash delete button
