Address ranges to be use by private network are:<br><br>- Class A: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255<br>- Class B: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255<br>- Class C: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255<br><br>An IP address within these ranges is therefore considered non-routable, as it is not unique. Any private network that needs to use IP addresses internally can use any address within these ranges without any coordination with IANA or an Internet registry. Addresses within this private address space are only unique within a given private network.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>VPC Type</strong></td><td>There are two types available on the VPC:<br>a.<strong>Simple</strong> support services that need to be connected to the internet and have access to resources outside the VPC.<br>b.<strong>Isolated</strong> is used to fully isolate resources and data from the internet or other resources outside the VPC.<br>VPC type difference is the simple type you can add Floating IP to the network configuration.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Gateway Pool</strong></td><td>Displays only when <strong>Simple</strong> is selected as the <strong>VPC Type</strong>. Select the gateway pool to be used for external network connectivity. This field is not available for the <strong>Isolated</strong> VPC type.</td></tr></tbody></table>
