How to Configure Private Network in Cloud Control Panel

This guide will walk you through the process of configure the private network on your account.

1. Login into your Cloud Control Panel

2. In the left sidebar, click on the 'Network' tab, then hover the '...' icon located at the bottom-right corner of the screen and click '+' icon.

3. Assign a name to the network. In this example, we’ll use private-network as both the name and description. Once done, click 'CREATE' to proceed.

4. You’ll see the private network listed under the Networks section. Next, hover over the private network and click ‘Add Subnet’ to configure a subnet for it.

5. Enter the following details:

• Name: You may enter any name. For example: Private Network Range
• Address Configuration: Select "Enter address manually" to define your own private network range.
• Network Address: This depends on your preference. For example: 10.10.10.0/24, 192.168.30.0/24, etc.
• Gateway IP Configuration: Choose "Manually set gateway IP"
• Gateway IP: Specify the gateway IP address for your range. For example: 10.10.10.1
• IP Version: Select IPv4, as we are creating an IPv4 private network.

• Enable DHCP by selecting the checkbox.
• Click ‘Add Allocation Pool’ to define the IP allocation range for the 10.10.10.0/24 network.
• Allocation Pool Start: Set to 10.10.10.2 (the first usable IP in the /24 range).
• Allocation Pool End: Set to 10.10.10.254 (the last usable IP in the /24 range).

6. The private network subnet has now been successfully added to the Cloud Control Panel.

7. In the left sidebar, click on the 'Router' tab, then click the '+' icon located at the bottom-right corner of the screen.

8. Enter the following details and once all details are filled in, click ‘CREATE’ to proceed.

• Name: You may use any suitable name (e.g: Router).
• Description: Enter a relevant description (e.g: Router).
• External Network: To enable Internet access for instances connected to a private network, select Public – MY-CJ1 as the external network. This allows instances with a private network port to access the public Internet.
• Admin State Up: Ensure this is checked to enable the router

9. You’ll see the router listed in the Networks section. Next, hover over the router and click ‘Add Interface’ to attach the private network subnet.

10. Select the private network IP range, then click ‘ADD INTERFACE’ to attach it to the router.

11. The private network interface has now been successfully added to the router. To verify, check the router details and confirm that it is using the public network as the external network. This indicates that the private network interface attached to the router now has Internet access.

12. You can now create a new instance. During the network selection step, choose both the public and private networks. Once selected, click ‘CREATE’ to proceed.

13. You can verify whether both public and private networks are assigned to the instance using two methods.

• The first method is to click on the instance, go to the INFO tab, and check the Network Details section. If both networks are listed there, they have been successfully assigned to the instance.

• The second method provides a more accurate verification. Access the instance via SSH using the public IP address, you can enter the command ifconfig to verify. Make sure there is a public and private IP address assigned to the network interface.
