Adding Tiers
207
Provide the following information:
• Name: A short name for the VPC that you are creating.
• Description: A brief description of the VPC.
• Zone: Choose the zone where you want the VPC to be available.
• Super CIDR for Guest Networks: Defines the CIDR range for all the tiers (guest networks)
within a VPC. When you create a tier, ensure that its CIDR is within the Super CIDR value you
enter. The CIDR must be RFC1918 compliant.
• DNS domain for Guest Networks: If you want to assign a special domain name, specify the
DNS suffix. This parameter is applied to all the tiers within the VPC. That implies, all the tiers
you create in the VPC belong to the same DNS domain. If the parameter is not specified, a DNS
domain name is generated automatically.
16.27.3. Adding Tiers
Tiers are distinct locations within a VPC that act as isolated networks, which do not have access to
other tiers by default. Tiers are set up on different VLANs that can communicate with each other by
using a virtual router. Tiers provide inexpensive, low latency network connectivity to other tiers within
the VPC.
