Creating a subnet for an Azure network

Use the Edge Services portal to create a subnet for an Azure network. A subnet is a range of IP addresses used with your Azure virtual private cloud (VPC). Before you can create a subnet for an Azure network, you must create an Azure network. After you create the subnet, you can view details for the subnet and perform actions such editing or deleting a subnet.

To create a subnet for an Azure network:

  1. Click Infrastructure, then click Network.

    The Edge Services portal shows the networks created for your organization.
Edge Service Manager network view
  1. Click MORE on the Azure network, then select Create Subnet.
     
    The Edge Services portal shows the Create Subnet window.
Create Subnet window
  1. In the Create Subnet window, complete the following fields:
Field Description

TYPE

 Select Azure Subnet.

SUBNET NAME

Type a name for the subnet.

SUBNET CIDR

 Type the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) number for the subnet as a range of IP addresses that are reserved to prevent Azure from assigning them to your network interfaces. CIDR is a method of assigning IP addresses designed to improve the efficiency of address distribution.

ACTIVE

 Select this option to activate the subnet.

DHCP SERVER

 Select this option if the subnet has a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server assigning IP addresses to hosts.

ALLOW IP OVERRIDE

 Select this option if the subnet has the same IP address space within its parent network.

NETWORK POOL

 Type the name of the network pool to assign to the subnet. A network pool contains static IP addresses for the subnet to use if you are not using a DHCP. The autocomplete fields enable you to choose a network pool as you type.
  1. In the Group Access section, complete the following fields:
Field Description

all

 Select this option to grant all groups access to this subnet.

Group name

Select one of the following options for each of the groups:

  • Access—Grant the group access to the Azure subnet.
  • Default—Assign the subnet as the default subnet for the group.
  1. Click SAVE CHANGES.

    The Edge Services portal creates the subnet for the Azure network.
