3.1.1.4 Inserting a Network

Perform the following procedure for manually inserting a network. Alternatively, you can use the automated process of uploading a network field configuration file to create both the network field and associated networks. See Configuring Network Element file.

  1. From the Networks page, locate and select the target network field tab where you want to create the network.
    Network fields are presented in tabular form. If the target network field is not visible in the available screen space use the scroll right/left buttons located below the toolbar area and to the right or left of the visible tabs.
  2. Click Insert.
  3. Enter a Network Name.
    For more information about Network Name, or any field on this page, see Insert Network Fields.
  4. Select a Network Type from the list.
  5. Enter a VLAN ID.
  6. Enter a Network Address.
    This is a network address and not a host IP address.
  7. Enter a Netmask.
  8. Optional: Enter the Router IP.
    This is used as the gateway address of the default route if yes is chosen in step 10.
  9. 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.
  10. Choose whether this network is routed outside its network field.
  11. 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 field.
