Virtual Networking Wizards
To make it easier to set up a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) and connect to it, the Console has the following wizards that walk you through network setup.
Create a VCN with Internet Connectivity
What this wizard does:
- Checks for resource availability. To create any new resource the service limit for that resource must not already have been reached. Once the service limit for a resource type has been reached, you can either remove unused resources of that type or request a service limit increase.
- Creates a VCN. This wizard can support the creation of a VCN with IPv6 addresses. For more information, see IPv6 Addresses.
- Creates an internet gateway, NAT gateway, and service gateway for the VCN.
- Creates a regional public subnet with routing to the internet gateway. Instances in a public subnet may optionally have public IP addresses.
- Creates a regional private subnet with routing to the NAT gateway and service gateway (and therefore the Oracle Services Network). Instances in a private subnet can't have public IP addresses.
- Sets up basic security list rules for the two subnets, including SSH access.
This wizard supports the creation of a VCN with IPv6 addresses. IPv6 addressing is supported for all commercial and government regions. For more information, see IPv6 Addresses.

Add Internet Connectivity and Site-to-Site VPN to a VCN
What this wizard does:
- Checks for resource availability. To create any new resource the service limit for that resource must not already have been reached. Once the service limit for a resource type has been reached, you can either remove unused resources of that type or request a service limit increase.
- Creates an internet gateway for the VCN.
- Creates a regional public subnet with access to the internet gateway. Instances in a public subnet may optionally have public IP addresses.
- Sets up basic security list rules for the subnet, including SSH access.
- Sets up all the Networking service resources required for a Site-to-Site VPN between the VCN and an on-premises network. The wizard can optionally have the IPSec encrypted traffic use an existing FastConnect link between the VCN and an on-premises network. See IPSec over FastConnect for details.
Note
For the IPSec connection to work, a network engineer must also configure the customer-premises equipment (CPE) in the edge network.
