Managing networks and subnets

In addition to the cloud network, you can create subnets. By default, one network with several subnets is already created in the project. Once a network and subnets are created, they become available to all virtual machines in the project at once.

Viewing the list of networks and subnets and information about them

  1. In personal account, go to Virtual networksNetworks.

    A list of networks will be displayed.

  2. Click on the name of the necessary network.

    A page with detailed information about the network will open. This will include a list of subnets on that network.

  3. Tap on the name of the desired subnet.

    A page detailing the network information will be displayed.

Creating a network

  1. In personal account, go to Virtual networksNetworks.
  2. Click the Create button.
  3. Set the network name.
  4. (Optional) Give access to the Internet. This is necessary if you plan to use VPN, SNAT services.
  5. Select a router from the suggested list.
  6. Specify the zone for private DNS.
  7. The default subnet is already created, but you can add more. If you need to add subnets later, skip this step.
  8. Click the Add Network button.

Once a network is created, it will appear in the list of networks.
