External VLAN

External VLAN: how to combine cloud infrastructure with your physical hardware via a shared Layer 2 channel.

External VLAN is a service that allows you to create a shared Layer 2 network environment within your zone (cluster). This enables you to combine virtual machines in the cloud with any external infrastructure located outside our platform.

This allows you to connect:

  • Physical dedicated servers (bare metal);
  • Your own routers or switches;
  • Local infrastructure (on-premises) via your operator's or provider's transport channels.

Unlike standard private networks that you can create and configure independently in the portal, setting up an External VLAN connection requires technical coordination and switch configuration from our side.

To set up such a connection, contact our support team.
