Configuring Cisco IAC With the Wizard
Creating Resources for Network Services
c.
Community Network: Choose the network access scope for user networks. A community network is available
to users in Community VDCs. Non-community networks require explicit VDC level access to be set before users
can deploy servers to it, which is useful for traffic isolation and better security.

d.
Public Network: Specify the duplication policy for this network. Public networks are globally unique, while private
networks must only be unique within associated network device contexts.
networks must only be unique within associated network device contexts.
e.
Network Type: Choose a network type to determine how this network can be used. User networks are used for
deploying virtual machines or physical servers. Management networks are used for management access to cloud
servers. Infrastructure networks are used for management interfaces of hypervisor hosts and other infrastructure
devices. For Advanced Network Services, use “Infrastructure” type for Service, Infrastructure, and Internet
Transit. (Theses are the three networks you are asked for when you create a Service Resource Container).

Creating Infrastructure Networks
From the Wizard, choose Create Infrastructure Network.
Note:
The steps for this procedure are the same as outlined in the

Creating an Internet Transit Network (Optional)
This is for use in Advanced Network Services to provide Internet Transit Network Connectivity to Organizations.
Connectivity from Tenant Org CSRs to the Datacenter/Provider Edge ASRs.

Creating the Service Resource Container (Optional)
This is where the Compute POD is associated with the Infrastructure, Service and Internet Transit Networks. In addition,
this is also where the target Cluster and Datastore to be used within the Datacenter (identified by the Compute POD) is
selected. One place the Service Resource Container is used is during Creation of Organizations to specify the Network
an Compute resources to be used by that Organization.
