Provisioning and Managing Networks
Adding an Existing Network
a.
Choose the network access scope for user networks. A community network is available to users in shared zones.
Non-community networks require explicit VDC level access to be set before users can deploy servers to it, which
can be useful for traffic isolation and better security.

b.
Specify Public or Private; for Public select Yes. Public networks are globally unique; private networks must only
be unique within associated network device contexts.

c.
Choose Network Type, such as User.
d.
Choose how IP addresses management is done in this network: Internally by Cisco IAC, or via an external IP
management tool.

4.
Choose the port profile corresponding to the IP range being created.
a.
Choose the UCS VLAN that corresponds to the IP range being created. The UCS VLAN should match the VLAN
for the port profile.
for the port profile.
b.
Display only. The subnet mask is generated from the prefix of the vCenter network you specified on this form.
c.
The “gateway” address is the floating “VIP” shared by the real members.
d.
Use the default gateway network that is populated from the subnet address or enter a different gateway network
address (for example, 192.168.1.x).

The pre-population of the gateway address is a convenience feature; if it does not suggest the address that is right
for your network, you should either correct or remove it. This IP address will not be assigned to any server deployed
by the system.

FHRP is a term used to describe the various First Hop Redundancy Protocols. This includes HSRP (common at Cisco)
and VRRP (common outside of Cisco). The FHRP 1 and 2 address are the “real” IP addresses of the routers
participating in the redundancy protocol.

Enter the FHRP (First Hop Redundancy Protocol) gateway 1 and 2 network IP addresses, or keep the default

Enter one of the following:
—
The valid primary DNS address for servers on this network

Note:
Amazon reserves the first four (4) IP addresses and the last one (1) IP address of every subnet for IP
networking purposes. In Amazon networks, IP addresses should be marked as excluded using the Network
