Topology for a VNS

Before you can define the VNS topology parameters and configure the VNS, you must first
create a new VNS name.
To create a new VNS name:
1. From the main menu, click Virtual Network Configuration. The Virtual Network
Configuration screen appears.
2. In the left pane, type a name that will identify the new VNS in the Add subnet box, and then
click Add subnet. The name appears in the Virtual Networks list. The Topology screen
appears.
The following sections describe in detail how to define the VNS topology parameters and
configure the VNS.
