Private network

How to create private networks (VLANs) and configure internal IPAM for your virtual machines.

A private network (local VLAN) allows you to combine your virtual machines into an isolated Layer 2 network segment. Traffic within such a network is completely protected from external access and is not metered or billed.

Private network — list and VLAN layout

Steps

  1. Open the Network → Private networks section.
  2. Click New and create an internal VLAN, specifying your desired IPv4 subnet range (CIDR).
  3. If virtual machines in this local network require secure internet access (NAT) or other network services, enable the Enable Cloud Gateway option.
  4. Connect your virtual machines to the created network (this can be done either during the creation of a new VM or on a running machine via the VM → Resize section).
  5. You can view the list of allocated addresses and manage them under the IPAM tab in your private network's settings.
