⁠7.4. Creating a Network

The steps in this procedure are for OpenStack Networking only.

Important

If you chose Compute Networking during the deployment of OpenStack, see Section 8.9.1, “Creating a Network” for CLI commands because Compute Networking does not have dashboard options.
To create a network from the Dashboard, you must have first:
  • Installed the Dashboard.
  • Installed OpenStack Networking services.
⁠

Procedure 7.4. Creating a Network Using the Dashboard

  1. Log in to the Dashboard.
  2. In the Project tab, click on Networks under the Manage Network menu.
  3. Click the Create Network button. The Create Network dialog is displayed.

  4. By default, the dialog opens to the Network tab. You have the option of specifying a network name.
  5. To define the network's subnet, click on the Subnet and Subnet Detail tabs. Click into each field for field tips.

    Note

    You do not have to initially specify a subnet (although this will result in any attached instance having the status of 'error'). If you do not define a specific subnet, clear the Create Subnet check box.
  6. Click the Create button.
You have successfully created a new network.
