Create a private network

A private network lets your VMs in one data center talk to each other without using public IPs. You can have one private network per data center.

1. In the service menu, open Private networks and click Create private network.
2. Choose the Private network template for the data center your VMs are in, and enter a Network name.
3. Set the Network address and Network prefix (CIDR). The default, 10.68.0.0/24 with gateway 10.68.0.1, suits most setups. Add DNS resolvers if you want something other than the defaults.
4. Leave Assignment on Automatic (recommended) so VMs configure their private IP by themselves.
5. Click Create private network. It appears on the Private networks page when it is ready.

To reach the internet from VMs that only have a private interface, set one VM up as a gateway, with both a public and a private interface, and point the others at it.

Next, add the private network to your VMs.
