|

| 8 | A cloud network is a type of network that can be used for
|
|---|
| 9 | connections from a local VM to a remote Oracle Cloud Infrastructure cloud instance.
|
|---|
| 10 | </p>
|
|---|
| 11 | <p>
|
|---|
| 12 | To create and use a cloud network, do the following:
|
|---|
| 13 | </p>
|
|---|
| 14 | <ol>
|
|---|
| 15 | <li>
|
|---|
| 16 | <p>
|
|---|
| 17 | Set up a virtual cloud network on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
|
|---|
| 18 | </p>
|
|---|
| 19 | <p>
|
|---|
| 20 | The following steps create and configure a virtual cloud
|
|---|
| 21 | network (VCN) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The VCN is used to tunnel network
|
|---|
| 22 | traffic across the cloud.
|
|---|
| 23 | </p>
|
|---|
| 24 | <ol>
|
|---|
| 25 | <li>
|
|---|
| 26 | <p>
|
|---|
| 27 | Ensure that you have a cloud profile for connecting to
|
|---|
| 28 | Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. See <xref href="cloud-create-cloud-profile.dita#cloud-create-cloud-profile"/>.
|
|---|
| 29 | </p>
|
|---|
| 30 | </li>
|
|---|
| 31 | <li>
|
|---|
| 32 | <p>
|
|---|
| 33 | Run the following <userinput>VBoxManage cloud</userinput>
|
|---|
| 34 | command:
|
|---|
| 35 | </p>
|
|---|
| 36 | <pre xml:space="preserve">VBoxManage cloud --provider="OCI" --profile="vbox-oci" network setup</pre>
|
|---|
| 37 | <p>
|
|---|
| 38 | where <codeph>vbox-oci</codeph> is the name of your
|
|---|
| 39 | cloud profile.
|
|---|
| 40 | </p>
|
|---|
| 41 | <p>
|
|---|
| 42 | Other options are available for the <userinput>VBoxManage
|
|---|
| 43 | cloud network setup</userinput> command, to enable you to
|
|---|
| 44 | configure details for the VCN. For example, you can
|
|---|
| 45 | configure the operating system used for the cloud
|
|---|
| 46 | gateway instance and the IP address range used by the
|
|---|
| 47 | tunneling network. See
|
|---|
| 48 | <xref href="man_VBoxManage-cloud.dita#vboxmanage-cloud"/>.
|
|---|
| 49 | </p>
|
|---|
| 50 | <p>
|
|---|
| 51 | For best results, use an Oracle Linux 7 instance for the
|
|---|
| 52 | cloud gateway. This is the default option.
|
|---|
| 53 | </p>
|
|---|
| 54 | </li>
|
|---|
| 55 | </ol>
|
|---|
| 56 | </li>
|
|---|
| 57 | <li>
|
|---|
| 58 | <p>
|
|---|
| 59 | Register the new cloud network with Oracle VM VirtualBox.
|
|---|
| 60 | </p>
|
|---|
| 61 | <p>
|
|---|
| 62 | Use the <b outputclass="bold">Cloud Networks</b> tab
|
|---|
| 63 | in the <b outputclass="bold">Network Manager</b>
|
|---|
| 64 | tool. See
|
|---|
| 65 | <xref href="network-manager-cloud-network-tab.dita#network-manager-cloud-network-tab"/>.
|
|---|
| 66 | </p>
|
|---|
| 67 | </li>
|
|---|
| 68 | <li>
|
|---|
| 69 | <p>
|
|---|
| 70 | Add cloud network adaptors to the local VMs that will use
|
|---|
| 71 | the cloud network. See <xref href="network_cloud.dita#network_cloud"/>.
