In addition, customers can add a port of the logical network to connect to the physical NIC port of the bare metal server.


Logical Network Setting in Baremetal Server Management (after Server creation is completed)

You can add / change / delete the port of the logical network connected to the physical NIC port of the bare metal server.
Customers can set only Logical Network configuration via Customer Portal / API.
Therefore, after setting the segment ID / IP address set for multiple logical network ports, the customer needs to set the segment ID / IP address for each physical NIC port as the OS setting of the bare metal server.

This function becomes a port addition function of the logical network for the bare metal server menu. For that reason, you should use API of logical network, not API of bare metal server on API.
This section describes the details of the function to add Logical Network Port. For overall Logical Network, please refer to the Service Description of Logical Network.
