To create a VNet in the Resource Manager deployment model by using the Azure portal, follow the steps below. The screenshots are provided as examples. Be sure to replace the values with your own. For more information about working with virtual networks, see the Virtual Network Overview.
-
From a browser, navigate to the Azure portal and, if necessary, sign in with your Azure account.
-
Click New. In the Search the marketplace field, type "Virtual Network". Locate Virtual Network from the returned list and click to open the Virtual Network blade.
-
Near the bottom of the Virtual Network blade, from the Select a deployment model list, select Resource Manager, and then click Create.
-
On the Create virtual network blade, configure the VNet settings. When you fill in the fields, the red exclamation mark will become a green check mark when the characters entered in the field are valid.
-
The Create virtual network blade looks similar to the following example. There may be values that are auto-filled. If so, replace the values with your own.
-
Name: Enter the name for your Virtual Network.
-
Address space: Enter the address space. If you have multiple address spaces to add, add your first address space. You can add additional address spaces later, after creating the VNet.
-
Subnet name: Add the subnet name and subnet address range. You can add additional subnets later, after creating the VNet.
-
Subscription: Verify that the Subscription listed is the correct one. You can change subscriptions by using the drop-down.
-
Resource group: Select an existing resource group, or create a new one by typing a name for your new resource group. If you are creating a new group, name the resource group according to your planned configuration values. For more information about resource groups, visit Azure Resource Manager Overview.
-
Location: Select the location for your VNet. The location determines where the resources that you deploy to this VNet will reside.
-
Select Pin to dashboard if you want to be able to find your VNet easily on the dashboard, and then click Create.
-
After clicking Create, you will see a tile on your dashboard that will reflect the progress of your VNet. The tile changes as the VNet is being created.
