Advanced Zone Physical Network Configuration
--------------------------------------------

Within a zone that uses advanced networking, you need to tell the
Management Server how the physical network is set up to carry different
kinds of traffic in isolation.


Configure Guest Traffic in an Advanced Zone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These steps assume you have already logged in to the CloudStack UI. To
configure the base guest network:

#. In the left navigation, choose Infrastructure. On Zones, click View
   More, then click the zone to which you want to add a network.

#. Click the Network tab.

#. Click Add guest network.

   The Add guest network window is displayed:

#. Provide the following information:

   -  **Name**: The name of the network. This will be user-visible
 
   -  **Display Text**: The description of the network. This will be
      user-visible
 
   -  **Zone**: The zone in which you are configuring the guest network.
 
   -  **Network offering**: If the administrator has configured multiple
      network offerings, select the one you want to use for this network
 
   -  **Guest Gateway**: The gateway that the guests should use
 
   -  **Guest Netmask**: The netmask in use on the subnet the guests
      will use

#. Click OK.


Configure Public Traffic in an Advanced Zone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a zone that uses advanced networking, you need to configure at least
one range of IP addresses for Internet traffic.


Configuring a Shared Guest Network
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#. Log in to the CloudStack UI as administrator.

#. In the left navigation, choose Infrastructure.

#. On Zones, click View More.

#. Click the zone to which you want to add a guest network.

#. Click the Physical Network tab.

#. Click the physical network you want to work with.

#. On the Guest node of the diagram, click Configure.

#. Click the Network tab.

#. Click Add guest network.

   The Add guest network window is displayed.

#. Specify the following:

   -  **Name**: The name of the network. This will be visible to the user.

   -  **Description**: The short description of the network that can be
      displayed to users.

   -  **VLAN ID**: The unique ID of the VLAN.

   -  **Isolated VLAN ID**: The unique ID of the Secondary Isolated
      VLAN.

   -  **Scope**: The available scopes are Domain, Account, Project, and
      All.

      -  **Domain**: Selecting Domain limits the scope of this guest
         network to the domain you specify. The network will not be
         available for other domains. If you select Subdomain Access,
         the guest network is available to all the sub domains within
         the selected domain.

      -  **Account**: The account for which the guest network is being
         created for. You must specify the domain the account belongs
         to.

      -  **Project**: The project for which the guest network is being
         created for. You must specify the domain the project belongs
         to.

      -  **All**: The guest network is available for all the domains,
         account, projects within the selected zone.

   -  **Network Offering**: If the administrator has configured multiple
      network offerings, select the one you want to use for this
      network.

   -  **Gateway**: The gateway that the guests should use.

   -  **Netmask**: The netmask in use on the subnet the guests will use.

   -  **IP Range**: A range of IP addresses that are accessible from the
      Internet and are assigned to the guest VMs.

      If one NIC is used, these IPs should be in the same CIDR in the
      case of IPv6.

   -  **IPv6 CIDR**: The network prefix that defines the guest network
      subnet. This is the CIDR that describes the IPv6 addresses in use
      in the guest networks in this zone. To allot IP addresses from
      within a particular address block, enter a CIDR.

   -  **Network Domain**: A custom DNS suffix at the level of a network.
      If you want to assign a special domain name to the guest VM
      network, specify a DNS suffix.

#. Click OK to confirm.
