| 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 enable you to configure details for the VCN. For example, you can configure the operating system used for the cloud gateway instance and the IP address range used by the tunneling network. See <xref href="../cli_topics/vboxmanage-cloud.dita"/>. </p>
|
|---|
| 24 | <p>For best results, use an Oracle Linux 7 instance for the cloud gateway. This is the default option. </p>
|
|---|
| 25 | </li>
|
|---|
| 26 | </ol>
|
|---|
| 27 | </li>
|
|---|
| 28 | <li>
|
|---|
| 29 | <p>Register the new cloud network with <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>. </p>
|
|---|
| 30 | <p>Use the <uicontrol>Network</uicontrol> tool. See <xref href="config-network.dita"/>.</p>
|
|---|
| 31 | </li>
|
|---|
| 32 | <li>
|
|---|
| 33 | <p>Add cloud network adaptors to the local VMs that will use the cloud network. See <xref href="network_cloud.dita#network_cloud"/>.</p>
