Inserting a Network

Use the following procedure for manually inserting a network. Alternatively, you can use the automated process of uploading a network element configuration file to create both the network element and associated networks. See Uploading a network element configuration file.

1. Click Configuration > Networking > Networks.
2. Locate and select the target network element tab where you want to create the network.
   Network elements are presented in tabular form. If the target network element is not visible in the available screen space use the scroll right/left buttons located below the tool bar area and to the right or left of the visible tabs.
3. Click Insert.
4. Enter a Network Name.
   For more information about Network Name, or any field on this page, see Network Insert elements.
5. Select a Network Type from the list.
6. Enter a VLAN ID.
7. Enter a Network Address.
   This is a network address and not a host IP address.
8. Enter a Netmask.
9. Optional: Enter the Router IP
   This is used as the gateway address of the default route if yes is chosen in step 10.
10. Choose whether this will be the network with a default gateway.
    If yes is chosen, the gateway address entered in step 9 acts as the default route for servers with interfaces on this network.
11. Choose whether this network is routed outside its network element.
12. Click OK to submit the information and return to the Networks page, or click Apply to submit the information and continue entering additional data. Clicking cancel discards your changes and returns you to the Networks page.

The new network is added to the target network element.
