4 | <title>Using a Cloud Network</title>

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="vboxmanage-cloud.dita"/>.
|
---|
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"/>.
