The pages below cover K-Nets end to end. Two are worth knowing about before you
start: K-Nets Quick Tasks for fast, action-only workflows,
and Worked example - three-tier VPC via API for
building a three-tier VPC (LB + DNS + DHCP) through the /api/v2 HTTP API in
the correct order, with the cross-endpoint dependencies that are not obvious
from individual endpoint pages called out inline.
Common screen checks
Use these checks for read-only network dashboard and table views before retrying:
Confirm you are in the correct zone or environment scope for the target network object.
Verify your role can view or manage network resources in that scope.
If expected rows are missing, re-check upstream Infrastructure state before retrying.
Quick Links
Use these quick navigation links:
Traffic Types for Management/Storage/Public/Guest traffic operations.
Network States for Allocated/Implementing/Setup behavior.
Create Guest Network for isolated/shared network creation fields.
SDN Fabric for routing observability (OSPF/BGP/EVPN/RIB).
Network Topology for dashboard, node, alert, and tab-level network health checks.
IPAM for IP, VLAN, and DHCP scope audit/capacity visibility.
Bridges for bridge-member and traffic/error visibility in node details.
Interfaces for NIC-level health and counters in node details.
VPCs for isolated virtual networks, tiers, public IPs, load balancing, ACLs, and VPN.
VPC Tier Selection Guide for choosing Default, Hybrid, or InternalLB tier offerings.
