Private Network Exoscale CloudStack guide

User guide

Requirements check

Your account should have been granted access to privnet. Check that you have at least one network with this command:

cs listNetworks type=isolated

Add extra NIC to a VM

The network id value is needed to attach a new NIC to your VM with this call:

cs addNicToVirtualMachine networkid=<network_id> virtualmachineid=<vm_id>

If all works out, you should have a new interface on the pci slot 07 (ens7 on Ubuntu), you can configure the new interface like that:

sudo ip addr add 10.0.0.1/24 dev ens7
sudo ip link set ens7 up

Or you can create a configuration file to keep the interface configured between reboot:

# For Ubuntu 16.04 which names network interface as ensX
sudo -i
cat <<EOF > /etc/network/interfaces.d/privnet.cfg
auto ens7
iface ens7 inet static
address 10.0.0.1/24
EOF
ifup ens7

Remove nic from VM

To remove the extra nic, just run:

cs removeNicFromVirtualMachine nicid=<nic_id> virtualmachineid=<vm_id>
