About cloud networking
Cloud networking is used to connect the KVM Admin Console appliance to VM hosts that are
running VM instances in the cloud, and to connect users’ computers to these instances.
From the Settings screen, click Edit Cloud Networking under Recommended Actions, or mouse over
the right side of the Cloud Networking pane and click the Edit icon to display the cloud networking
settings you can configure.
The Cloud Networking screen allows you to configure the private network for the KVM Admin
Console appliance used to connect to VM hosts, cloud subnets, and public and private subnets.
These subnets manage and connect VM instances to the cloud.
Table 4 Data displayed on Cloud Networking screen
Number of activated servers that are hosting virtual machines. An activated server has software
installed and configured that enables the host to be added to the private cloud.
Activated hosts
If this value is greater than 0, you cannot change the IP addresses unless you reset your
environment.

Netmask, Usable IP range, and IPs available are calculated based on the IP address.
Range of private IP addresses that is assigned to provisioned virtual machines on the local VM
hosts. This subnet is created by Matrix KVM Private Cloud as a separate virtual network on each
VM host.
Private subnet for
instances
Traffic to a provisioned virtual machine is routed by the VM host where it resides through the
Cloud connectivity subnet to the Private subnet for instances to the virtual machine.
Netmask, Usable IP range, and IPs available are calculated based on the IP address.
IPs assigned shows the instances to which IP addresses are assigned on the Instances screen.
Range of public IPv4 addresses used for communication between virtual machine instances
provisioned by Matrix OE in the private cloud on the compute nodes. This subnet must be routable
