Steps to Add a New Zone

•Public. A public zone is available to all users. A zone that is not public will be assigned to a

particular domain. Only users in that domain will be allowed to create guest VMs in this zone.

2. Choose which traffic types will be carried by the physical network.

The traffic types are management, public, guest, and storage traffic. For more information about

the types, roll over the icons to display their tool tips, or see Basic Zone Network Traffic Types.

This screen starts out with some traffic types already assigned. To add more, drag and drop traffic

types onto the network. You can also change the network name if desired.

3. Assign a network traffic label to each traffic type on the physical network. These labels must

match the labels you have already defined on the hypervisor host. To assign each label, click the

Edit button under the traffic type icon. A popup dialog appears where you can type the label, then

click OK.

These traffic labels will be defined only for the hypervisor selected for the first cluster. For all other

hypervisors, the labels can be configured after the zone is created.

4. Click Next.

5. (NetScaler only) If you chose the network offering for NetScaler, you have an additional screen to

fill out. Provide the requested details to set up the NetScaler, then click Next.

•IP address. The NSIP (NetScaler IP) address of the NetScaler device.

•Username/Password. The authentication credentials to access the device. CloudPlatform uses

these credentials to access the device.

•Type. NetScaler device type that is being added. It could be NetScaler VPX, NetScaler MPX, or

NetScaler SDX. For a comparison of the types, see About Using a NetScaler Load Balancer.

•Public interface. Interface of NetScaler that is configured to be part of the public network.

•Private interface. Interface of NetScaler that is configured to be part of the private network.

•Number of retries. Number of times to attempt a command on the device before considering

the operation failed. Default is 2.

•Capacity. Number of guest networks/accounts that will share this NetScaler device.

•Dedicated. When marked as dedicated, this device will be dedicated to a single account. When

Dedicated is checked, the value in the Capacity field has no significance – implicitly, its value is

6. (NetScaler only) Configure the IP range for public traffic. The IPs in this range will be used for the

static NAT capability which you enabled by selecting the network offering for NetScaler with EIP

and ELB. Enter the following details, then click Add. If desired, you can repeat this step to add

more IP ranges. When done, click Next.

•Gateway. The gateway in use for these IP addresses.

•Netmask. The netmask associated with this IP range.

•VLAN. The VLAN that will be used for public traffic.

•Start IP/End IP. A range of IP addresses that are assumed to be accessible from the Internet

and will be allocated for access to guest VMs.
