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 Infrastructure > Classic Infrastructure.
In the navigation window, 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 doesn't indicate 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.
