For VLANs you can view the following information.
  • Network Type - For VLANs, this would display VLAN.
  • Stack - The stack to which this VLAN is deployed.
  • VLAN Tag - The VLAN ID.
  • The Actions menu is also available for you to perform certain actions on the network. For more information about the actions you can perform on networks, see the topic, Manage networks.

VNET Properties​

Figure 2. VNET Properties

For VNETs, you can view the following information.

  1. You can view the associated NFV instance as applicable for the VNET. You can click the link to drill down and view details of the NFV instance.

  2. You can view the following network properties:

    PropertyDescription
    TypeLists the type of network as VNET.
    Usable IP RangeThe range of usable IP addresses on this network.
    NetmaskThe netmask for the network.
    Default GatewayThe default gateway for this network.
    DHCP RangeThe part of this VNET’s IP address range that is served by DHCP. The DHCP range does not include your default gateway.
    DHCP Lease TimeThe amount of time in seconds for how long your DHCP lease is retained on your client.
    Domain NameDomain name for DHCP as applicable.
    Primary DNS ServerPrimary DNS server for DHCP as applicable.
    Secondary DNS ServerSecondary (redundant) DNS server for DHCP as applicable.
    Static BindingRefers to the use of fixed IP addresses via DHCP. If used, you would see MAC addresses and IP addresses in this section. If static binding is not used, this setting will be None.

  3. You can view any Firewall Settings, that is, any Manage firewall profiles for this network if they exist.

  4. You can view details of the Inside Interface, which is used by the DHCP Service, and may include a firewall override.

  5. You can view details of the Outside Interface, which is used by the Routing Service. When using an auto-deployed NFV instance, it will act as a DHCP server and gateway for instances in the corresponding VNET. It will be assigned two IP addresses: the internal interface IP address specified as the VNET’s gateway, and the outside interface IP address, which will be determined by the Routing Service settings. Inside and outside interfaces are edited from the NFV vNIC section.

    SettingDescription
    Networking ModeLists the external networking mode as either VLAN or VNET for external traffic.
    NetworkLists the network used for the outside interface.
    Firewall ProfileLists the firewall profile, if applicable
    Firewall OverrideLists the firewall override, if applicable.
    Address ModeAddress mode for the outside interface, such as DHCP
    IP AddressIP Address for the outside interface, as applicable.
    NetmaskNetmask for the outside interface, as applicable.
