Private Network

The ArvanCloud’s Private Network feature helps you connect instances and deploy your developments and solutions.

Create Private Network​

Go to the Networks section of your user panel, click on the Private Network option, and select Create Private Network.

Enter the required details on the opened window. These include:

Network Title​

You can type your preferred name for your new private network.

Network Information​

Define a subnet for your private network. When creating a new network, you must enter a Gateway address for your sub.NET The address can be in any range that you have defined. For example, if your subnet range for creating a new private network is 10.0.0.0/24, your gateway address can be 10.0.0.1 or any number in this range. This way, you can use a floating IP.

Furthermore, you can configure your network’s advanced settings to make it more personalized.

Gateway​

Instances in the private network lack internet access by default. If you need to access the internet from your instance, then you must create a floating IP. The Gateway option must remain active for you to use your floating IP.

You can also add a preferred IP address as your Gateway in the Gateway section of your user panel. This address, however, must be in the same range as your IP address.

DHCP Range​

If you want your instances in this network to receive an IP automatically, you can define an IP range so that it is automatically assigned to your instances in the network.

Address​

In this section, you can automatically enter a private or public Nameserver address such as 8.8.8.8 to connect to the instances.

Finally, after the configurations, click on Create Network to finish your setup.

Connecting Instance to Private Network​

Click on Add Instance option in front of the network name.

Then, select your instance and configure the connection settings. You can ping other servers in this network from within each of them. In this way, you can design and implement different scenarios.
