Create a VNet

Nerdio Manager allows you to create a VNet.

To create a VNet:

  1. At the account level, navigate to Azure > Network > VNet.

  2. Select Add VNet.

  3. Enter the following information:

    • Name: Type the name of the VNet.

      Note

      The name must be between 2 and 80 characters. The name can contain letters, numbers, underscores, periods, and hyphens. The name must begin and end with a letter or a number.

    • Region: From the drop-down list, select the Azure region for the VNet.

    • Resource Group: From the drop-down list, select a linked resource group.

      Note

      You can link to additional resource groups from Settings > Azure > Linked resource groups.

    • Address Space: Type the IPv4 address space in CIDR notation. At least one address space is required.

    • Subnet: Type the name for subnet and CIDR block. At least one subnet is required.

    • Additional Address Space: Select Add address space to add another non-overlapping address range for this VNet.

    • Custom DNS Servers: Select this option to use custom DNS servers. Unselect this option to use Azure's DNS servers.

      • Select Add custom DNS server to specify the custom DNS servers.

  4. Once you have entered all the desired information, select Save.

Link a VNet at the MSP level

Linking a VNet at the MSP level provides a shared networking environment that supports features like Global Images. It ensures consistency for image provisioning across all customer accounts, while reducing the need to configure separate VNets for each customer.

To link a VNet at the MSP level:

  1. At the MSP level, navigate to System > System Settings > Environment.

  2. In the Linked Networks section, select Link.

  3. In the new dialog box, from the drop-down list, select the network you wish to link.

  4. Select Apply.

Manage subnets

When you first create a subnet, it does not have an associated NSG, NAT Gateway, or User-Defined Routes (UDR). These are not necessary, but you may wish to add them to a subnet.
