Use the Console to create a virtual cloud network (VCN) that enables you
to connect to a compute instance and interact with a DB system.
This task requires the following:
- You do not have an existing VCN with a private and public regional subnet
present in your tenancy.
Do the following to create a VCN:
- Open the navigation menu, select Networking, and then select Virtual
cloud networks.
- In the Virtual cloud networks page, click Start VCN wizard.
- In the Start VCN wizard dialog box, select Create VCN with internet
connectivity, and click Start VCN wizard.
The VCN wizard creates a VCN, public and private regional
subnets, and internet, service, and NAT gateways.
- In the Create a VCN with internet connectivity panel, provide the
following information:
- Basic information: Enter the VCN name, and select the
Compartment where you want to create the VCN and its
components such as private and public subnet, internet gateway, NAT
gateway, and service gateway.
- Configure VCN: Specify the CIDR block for the VCN in VCN IPv4
CIDR block. Specify a value between /16 and /30. For example,
10.0.0.0/16 and 10.0.0.0/30. Accept the default values in the other
fields. If you plan to use VCN DNS or a third-party DNS, select the
Use DNS hostnames in this VCN check box for instance hostname
assignment.
Note
It is recommended
to accept the default values of the VCN and subnet configuration.
Also, you cannot change these values of the configuration
later.
- Configure public subnet: Specify the public subnet CIDR block in
IPv4 CIDR block. For example, 10.0.0.0/24. The public subnet
CIDR block must not overlap with the private subnet CIDR block.
- Configure private subnet: Specify the private subnet CIDR block
in IPv4 CIDR block. For example, 10.0.1.0/24. The private subnet
CIDR block must not overlap with the public subnet CIDR block.
- Tags: Click Show tagging options to open Tags.
Specify or select the Tag namespace, Tag key, and Tag
value.
- Click Next.
- Review the settings, and click Create.
- To view the VCN details, click View VCN.
