Getting Started with Networking

Use this workflow to create tenant VPCs and subnets for compute and converged topologies.

note

Create at least one VPC and one subnet for both compute and converged topologies.

Prerequisites

• Log in as a Tenant Admin.
• Plan non-overlapping CIDR ranges for each subnet.

Step 1: Create Compute VPC

1. Go to the Network sidebar.
2. Click Create VPC.

3. Enter the required VPC details and set Topology Type to Compute.
4. Click Create.

Step 2: Create Compute Subnet

1. In the VPC table, locate the compute VPC (the Topology column shows compute). In the Actions column, click on the "⋮" (vertical ellipsis), then select View VPC.
2. Click Add Subnet.
3. Enter subnet name and CIDR, then click Add.

Example compute subnet CIDR: 192.171.0.0/16

Step 3: Create Converged VPC

1. Go to the Network sidebar.
2. Click Create VPC.
3. Enter the required VPC details and set Topology Type to Converged.
4. Click Create.

Step 4: Create Converged Subnet

1. In the VPC table, locate the converged VPC (the Topology column shows converged). In the Actions column, click on the "⋮" (vertical ellipsis), then select View VPC.
2. Click Add Subnet.
3. Enter subnet name and CIDR that does not overlap the compute CIDR, then click Add.

Example converged subnet CIDR: 192.172.0.0/16

Step 5: Verify Network Configuration

1. Return to the Network sidebar.
2. Confirm both VPCs are listed with the expected subnet count.
