Internal Networks

Creating a private LAN for a tenant that can be shared between Virtual Data Centers.

An internal network is a private network inside a tenancy. It can be shared between Virtual Data Centers in the same tenant and is what you attach virtual machines to for LAN traffic.

You can create internal networks directly from your reseller account. Networking is in the left hand menu.

How to create an internal network

  • Click Networking then Internal Networks in the left hand menu

  • Click Create Internal Network

  • Enter a Name the customer will recognise, for example Demo LAN

  • Choose the Tenant the network belongs to

  • Choose the Data Center, for example MP-SYDNEY

  • Select the Virtual Data Centers that should be able to use the network

  • Enter the Subnet and Gateway, for example 192.168.99.0/24 and 192.168.99.254. These fields are labels only and do not configure anything

  • Click Create

After the network is created

  • The network appears in the Internal Networks list

  • It becomes selectable in the Network Configuration page of the New Virtual Machine wizard and in Edit Hardware

  • Addressing is up to the customer. MultiPortal does not run DHCP on the network, so set static addresses in the guest or run a DHCP server on one of the machines

  • Use the pencil icon on the row to change the name, subnet or gateway later
