Ordering a Premium VLAN

When you're ready to explore a more complex network topology, you can add more VLANs to isolate traffic between groups of devices. Unlike Automatic VLANs, which are automatically assigned to fulfill the needs of other products, a Premium VLAN stays on your account until canceled.

Pricing is visible during the ordering process for Premium VLANs.

Follow these steps to order a Premium VLAN:

From your browser, open the IBM Cloud console and log in to your account.
From the console, click the Navigation Menu icon and select Classic Infrastructure.
In the navigation pane, select Network > IP Management > VLANs.
Select Order and complete your specific configuration.

What happens next

A new VLAN with your specific configuration appears on your account within a few moments, except in cases that require approval processes for your account status.

New Premium VLANs are typically delivered without a primary subnet. The absence of a primary subnet is not an indication that one won't be added in the future. To understand more about what primary subnets are and how to use them, review Subnets and IPs.
