On the main menu of ZStack Cloud, choose Resource Center > Network Resource > L2 Network Resources > L2 Network. Then, the L2 Network page is displayed. The following tables list the actions that you can perform on an L2 network.

  • Share Globally: shares the resource with all projects and accounts.
  • Share to Specified Projects/Accounts: shares the resource with specified projects and accounts.
