Users can create networks using a wizard located within the Project tab in the dashboard. To create a network, login as the user in the demo project and perform the following steps:
- Navigate to Project | Network | Networks:
In the preceding screenshot, notice that there are no actions available next to the networks that are currently defined. Even though the networks are shared, they are not modifiable by users and can only be modified by an administrator.
- Click the Create Network button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. A window will appear that will allow you to specify network properties:
- From the Network tab, you can define the Network Name and Admin State (on or off). Users creating networks within the dashboard are not required to create a subnet at the time the network is created. By unchecking the Create Subnet checkbox in the Subnet tab, the network creation process can be completed:
The process to create subnets within the dashboard will be explained later on in this chapter.
