After you complete creating a VXLAN Pool with the software SDN type, create a
VxlanNetwork L2 network by using this VXLAN Pool. Each VxlanNetwork corresponds to a VNI
in a VXLAN Pool.
VxlanNetwork Features
VxlanNetwork is a logical layer 2 network that is built and encapsulated on a
layer 3 physical network by using UDP.
VxlanNetwork can overlay across L3 networks.
VxlanNetwork can encapsulate broadcast messages and multicast messages by using
an IP multicast.
VxlanNetwork uses 24-bit VxlanNetwork identifier, and supports a maximum of 16M
logical nets.
Create VxlanNetwork
In the navigation pane of the ZStack Private Cloud UI, choose Network Resource > L2 Network Resource > L2 Network. On the L2 Network page, click Create
L2 Network. On the displayed Create L2
Network page, set the following parameters:
Name: Enter a name for the VxlanNetwork L2
network.
Description: Optional. Enter a description for the
VxlanNetwork L2 network.
Type: Select VxlanNetwork.
VXLAN Pool: Select a VXLAN Pool with the software SDN
type.
Vni: Optional. Select the specified VNI in the VXLAN
Pool. If null, the cloud will randomly allocate a VINI for you.
You can create an L2 network with the VxlanNetwork type, as shown in Create
VxlanNetwork.Figure 1. Create VxlanNetwork
