Introduction
Network management using a data and a management network
Getting ready
- Create or select a GCP project.
- Enable billing and enable the default APIs (some APIs such as BigQuery, storage, monitoring, and a few others are enabled automatically).
- We'll create the management network called alpha-mgmt. Choose, the Custom option for the Subnet creation mode and create a single subnet called alpha-mgmt-us-central1 with an IP range of 10.2.0.0/24. Leave the default value in the other fields:
- Next, we'll create our data network called beta-data. Choose the Automatic option under Subnet creation mode:
- Let's not select any of the firewall rules for the moment. Click the Create button to provision the beta-data network.
How to do it...
- Firstly, we'll set up some firewall rules to the alpha and beta networks. In the alpha-mgmt network, open the SSH port 22 to all servers with the network tag alpha-server:
gcloud compute --project=<project id> firewall-rules create
allow-ssh-alpha-servers
--description="Allow ssh access to all servers with network tag alpha-server"
--direction=INGRESS --priority=1000 --network=alpha-mgmt
--action=ALLOW --rules=tcp:22 --source-ranges=0.0.0.0/0
--target-tags=alpha-server
- In the beta network, open access to the HTTP port 80 for all the servers tagged beta-server and http-server. This will allow the web traffic to flow to the web server:
gcloud compute --project=<project id> firewall-rules
create allow-http-beta-servers --description="allow http port 80"
--direction=INGRESS --priority=1000 --network=beta-data
--action=ALLOW --rules=tcp:80 --source-ranges=0.0.0.0/0
--target-tags=beta-server,http-server
- Next, we'll create our web instance which will have two NICs, one attached to the alpha network and the other to the beta network:
- Next, click on the hyperlink Management, disks, networking, SSH keys to open the subtabs.
- In the Management subtab, enter the following start up script:
#! /bin/bash
apt-get update
apt-get install -y apache2
