Create a Virtual NIC Set

You must create a virtual network interface card set (VNICset) in which to group all virtual network interface cards (vNICs) that you want to access over the VPN connection. Each instance (Oracle SOA Cloud Service and Oracle Database Cloud Service) has an associated vNIC. This task is a prerequisite for creating a VPN connection using VPN as a Service.

1. Go to the My Services Dashboard page.
2. From the left navigation pane, select Compute Classic.
3. Click the Network tab.
4. In the left navigation pane, select IP Network > Virtual NIC Sets.
5. Click Create vNICset.
6. Select or enter the required information:

   Element	Description
   Name	Enter a name for the vNICset.
   vNICs	Select the required vNICs (for example, Oracle Database Cloud Service and Oracle SOA Cloud Service). Without a vNIC, traffic through your company’s gateway is not allowed. vNICs are created automatically when you provision Oracle SOA Cloud Service and Oracle Database Cloud Service.
   Applied Access Control Lists	Select the access control lists (ACLs) that you want to apply to this vNICset, including the default ACL. When you apply an ACL to a vNICset, all security rules in that ACL are applied to traffic to or from each of the vNICs in the vNICset. ACLs are created automatically when you provision Oracle SOA Cloud Service and Oracle Database Cloud Service.
   Description	Enter a meaningful description for the vNICset.
   Tags	Enter a list of the search tags that you want to associate with this vNICset.

7. Click Create.
   The vNICset is created. You can use this vNICset as the next hop in any routes that you create, or as the source or destination in a security rule. ACLs are also applied to vNICsets.

You can manage your VNICsets. See Managing vNICsets of Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Classic.
