| </para> |
| </listitem> |
| <listitem> |
| <para><emphasis role="bold">Persistent</emphasis>. Indicate whether the guest network is |

| <para><emphasis role="bold">VPC</emphasis>. This option indicate whether the guest network |
| is Virtual Private Cloud-enabled. A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a private, isolated |
| part of &PRODUCT;. A VPC can have its own virtual network topology that resembles a |
| traditional physical network. For more information on VPCs, see <xref linkend="vpc"/>.</para> |
| </listitem> |
| <listitem> |
| <para><emphasis role="bold">Supported Services</emphasis>. Select one or more of the |
| possible network services. For some services, you must also choose the service provider; |
| for example, if you select Load Balancer, you can choose the &PRODUCT; virtual router or |
| any other load balancers that have been configured in the cloud. Depending on which |
| services you choose, additional fields may appear in the rest of the dialog box.</para> |
| <para>Based on the guest network type selected, you can see the following supported |

| <listitem> |
| <para><emphasis role="bold">System Offering</emphasis>. If the service provider for any of |
| the services selected in Supported Services is a virtual router, the System Offering |
| field appears. Choose the system service offering that you want virtual routers to use |
| in this network. For example, if you selected Load Balancer in Supported Services and |
| selected a virtual router to provide load balancing, the System Offering field appears |
| so you can choose between the &PRODUCT; default system service offering and any custom |
| system service offerings that have been defined by the &PRODUCT; root |
| administrator.</para> |
| <para condition="admin">For more information, see <xref linkend="system-service-offerings"/>.</para> |

| </listitem> |
| <listitem> |
| <para><emphasis role="bold">Redundant router capability</emphasis>. Available only when |
| Virtual Router is selected as the Source NAT provider. Select this option if you want to |
| use two virtual routers in the network for uninterrupted connection: one operating as |
| the master virtual router and the other as the backup. The master virtual router |
| receives requests from and sends responses to the user’s VM. The backup virtual router |
| is activated only when the master is down. After the failover, the backup becomes the |
| master virtual router. &PRODUCT; deploys the routers on different hosts to ensure |
| reliability if one host is down.</para> |
| </listitem> |
| <listitem> |
| <para><emphasis role="bold">Conserve mode</emphasis>. Indicate whether to use conserve |
| mode. In this mode, network resources are allocated only when the first virtual machine |
| starts in the network. When conservative mode is off, the public IP can only be used for |
| a single service. For example, a public IP used for a port forwarding rule cannot be |
| used for defining other services, such as SaticNAT or load balancing. When the conserve |
| mode is on, you can define more than one service on the same public IP.</para> |
| <note> |
| <para>If StaticNAT is enabled, irrespective of the status of the conserve mode, no port |
| forwarding or load balancing rule can be created for the IP. However, you can add the |
| firewall rules by using the createFirewallRule command.</para> |
