| 4 | <title>Using a Cloud Network</title>
|
|---|
| 5 | <body>
|
|---|
| 6 | <p>A cloud network is a type of network that can be used for connections from a local VM to a remote <ph
|
|---|
| 7 | conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/> cloud instance. </p>
|
|---|
| 8 | <p>To create and use a cloud network, do the following: </p>
|
|---|
| 9 | <ol>
|
|---|
| 10 | <li>
|
|---|
| 11 | <p>Set up a virtual cloud network on <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/>. </p>
|
|---|
| 12 | <p>The following steps create and configure a virtual cloud network (VCN) on <ph
|
|---|
| 13 | conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/>. The VCN is used to tunnel network traffic across the cloud. </p>
|
|---|
| 14 | <ol>
|
|---|
| 15 | <li>
|
|---|
| 16 | <p>Ensure that you have a cloud profile for connecting to <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/>. See
|
|---|
| 17 | <xref href="cloud-create-cloud-profile.dita#cloud-create-cloud-profile"/>. </p>
|
|---|
| 18 | </li>
|
|---|
| 19 | <li>
|
|---|
| 20 | <p>Run the following <userinput>VBoxManage cloud</userinput> command: </p>
|
|---|
| 21 | <pre xml:space="preserve">VBoxManage cloud --provider="OCI" --profile="vbox-oci" network setup</pre>
|
|---|
| 22 | <p>where <codeph>vbox-oci</codeph> is the name of your cloud profile. </p>
|
|---|
| 23 | <p>Other options are available for the <userinput>VBoxManage cloud network setup</userinput> command, to
|
|---|
| 24 | enable you to configure details for the VCN. For example, you can configure the operating system used for
|
|---|
| 25 | the cloud gateway instance and the IP address range used by the tunneling network. See <xref
|
|---|
| 26 | href="vboxmanage-cloud.dita"/>. </p>
|
|---|
| 27 | <p>For best results, use an Oracle Linux 7 instance for the cloud gateway. This is the default option. </p>
|
|---|
| 28 | </li>
|
|---|
| 29 | </ol>
|
|---|
| 30 | </li>
|
|---|
| 31 | <li>
|
|---|
| 32 | <p>Register the new cloud network with <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>. </p>
|
|---|
| 33 | <p>Use the <b outputclass="bold">Cloud Networks</b> tab in the <b outputclass="bold">Network Manager</b> tool.
|
|---|
| 34 | See <xref href="network-manager-cloud-network-tab.dita#network-manager-cloud-network-tab"/>. </p>
|
|---|
| 35 | </li>
|
|---|
| 36 | <li>
|
|---|
| 37 | <p>Add cloud network adaptors to the local VMs that will use the cloud network. See <xref
|
|---|
| 38 | href="network_cloud.dita#network_cloud"/>. </p>
