Private IP reporting

Private networks are used and maintained by Enterprise Admins, and from the Infrastructure point of view, the System Administrator can only view the use of these private VLANs. The Private tab in Network section provides the private IP reporting.

As the virtual infrastructure management is done in the VirtualDatacenters section, this screen has only information purposes. On the left an expanding tree provides us private networking information ordered hierarchically by enterprise and virtual datacenter. It's important to note that the search box will filter the expanding tree by enterprise.

When clicking a private network from the expanding tree, the main center screen shows the list IP addresses of the network.

Public IP management

The public IP management is used by the System Administrator to offer to Virtual Datacenter users the chance of use public IPs in their virtual infrastructure.

The SysAdmin can:

Leave in the left side the IPs you want to offer to users.

Edit and remove VLANs

Edit and remove VLANs are trivial actions. You only be aware to know that you can delete a public VLAN if and only if no users have purchased any IP of the network.

How to put an IP in a black list

Sometimes, an user can use a Public IP for do a bad use, if this happens, the DNS providers can block this IP. This is wat abiquo allows to check an IP to put it in quarantine. In this way abiquo platform will avoid that other enterprise can reserve this IP and attach it to another VM.

To do this is easily. User only has to select an IP and select the check "quarantine".

Note that the search box will filter by any field attribute contained in the table.
