Open the navigation menu.
Under Networking, go to Virtual Cloud Networks.

Name: Enter a name for your cloud network. Avoid entering confidential information.

Create in Compartment: This field defaults to your current compartment. Select the compartment you want to create the VCN in, if not already selected.

Select Create Virtual Cloud Network Only.

Specify the CIDR block.

Note - The selected CIDR block must not overlap with any of your customer's networks.

Leave the remaining options alone.
