Add a Network to a Network Gateway

Prerequisites

• A Unified Cloud Platform account
• A previously created network gateway
• 'security_manager' user role privilege

Overview

When you attach a network to a network gateway, you are joining two networks together. In RightScale, you have the choice of creating an internet gateway or a VPN gateway. An internet gateway allows public internet access to you private network. A VPN gateway allows connectivity to another private network that is either on premises or in another Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). 

Steps

1. Go to Manage > Networks > Network Gateways and find your network gateway. You can only attach one network to a network gateway. If a network is already connected to a network gateway, you will see it in the Network column of the list of network gateways.
2. Click Edit and next to Network select the network you would like to attach to the network gateway. You will only be able to select networks that are in the same cloud as your network gateway. 

3. Click Save. It can take several moments for the network to get connected to the network gateway.
