5.1.1. Logical Network¶
Note
Since a Logical Network is already automatically and systematically configured and connected with the Common Function Gateways (CFGW), there is no need to change the CFGW.
5.1.1.1. Creation procedure¶
Create Logical Network¶
Following are the items necessary to set up the Network as below:
Name of the Logical Network |
The Name of Network can be set by you. |
Plane |
For the Logical Network type to be newly created, choose from the following Network types : ‘Data’ or ‘Storage'. NOTE: You should select 'Data' as logical network type except when connecting a Baremetal Server to a Storage Server. |
Descriptions on the Logical Network |
Describe the details about the purpose of the Logical Network usage for your understanding and management. |
Tags of the Logical Network |
This tag is utilizing in order for you to search for the specific Logical Network as well as to specify the conditional Logical Network from among the list of your created Logical Networks. |
Admin State |
Choose either 'UP' or 'Down' for the initial Logical Network condition. NOTE: Down logical Network can not communicate with any Networks. |
After your inputting the settings of a Logical Network, you are required to fill in the IP Address information to assign in the Logical Network.
Subnet creation¶
Input the IP Address information to be assigned to your created Logical Network in the above.
Name of the Subnet |
The Name of a Subnet is set by Customers. |
Network Address |
Configure a Network Address to assign to a Logical Network. You can specify it in a CIDR format, also. |
Gateway IP Address |
Specify any IP Address from the Network Addresses above you have set, if you would like to set another Default Gateway of another NW connect point within the Subnet. If you would like to set as **No Gateway**", mark to the "Disable Gateway" box." |
Detail subnet settings¶
Note
Enable DHCP |
Checking the checkbox enables the DHCP function (server address setting function). |
Allocation Pools |
Specify an IP address range issuable to each interface. |
DNS Name Servers |
Specify a DNS server to be used by the customer.
|
NTP Server |
Specify an NTP server to be used by the customer. |
Creating an additional Host Route. |
If you need the Common Routing settings for the Resource connected to the relevant Logical Network, fill in the Routing information in this section. |
5.1.1.2. Change procedure¶
Port addition procedure¶
On the list of logical networks, click one logical network to move to the page shown below.
Click "Create Port " regarding the port item.
Enter information such as a port name on the "Basic Information " tab on the port creation screen.
On the port creation screen, click the "Fixed IP address " tab, and then enter information on the fixed IP address.
If intending not to subject any IP address to auto output, make an entry here.
On the port creation screen, click the "Allowed Address Pair " tab, and then enter information on the allowed address pair.
Last, click "Create Port " to complete the addition of the port.
Procedure for setting an allowed address pair¶
Once you click one Logical Network at the Logical Network Overview below, you will be able to move to the following page as shown below.
On the port list, click "Edit Port " tab, and then enter information on the virtual IP address and virtual MAC address to be assigned to the port.
Procedure for enabling DHCP (address setting function)¶
Note
Log in to the Control Panel, then select **Network**", then select "Logical Network"."
On the list of logical networks, click a logical network whose DHCP is to be enabled. With the page below shown, click "Edit Subnet " regarding action.
On the subnet edit screen, click "Subnet Details ".
Check the checkbox for enabling DHCP, and then click "Edit Subnet " (blue button shown at the bottom).
Now, enabling DHCP is completed.
Note
With this function enabled, one IP address for the address setting logic port (DHCP server port) is used by the service-side. The smallest number among the addresses not used for the "resource address management function (port)", in the IP address assignment pool is assigned automatically.
Even with this function enabled, an arbitrary IP address can be assigned as a fixed one. When connecting with a resource, specify an arbitrary address using the address assignment function of the port.
5.1.1.3. Deletion procedure¶
Subnet deletion¶
Once you click one Logical Network at the Logical Network Overview below, you will be able to move to the following page as shown below.
Select a Subnet which you would like to delete, then execute Delete Subnet"."
Delete a Logical Network¶
After completed to **Delete Subnets**", return to the list screen of Logical Networks then click on "Delete Logical Network"."
