Overview
In this lab, you create several VPC networks and VM instances and test connectivity
across networks. Specifically, you create two custom mode networks (managementnet
and privatenet) with firewall rules and VM instances as shown in this network diagram:

The mynetwork network with its firewall rules and two VM instances ( mynet-eu-vm
and mynet-us-vm) have already been created for you in this Qwiklabs project.

Objectives
In this lab, you will learn how to perform the following tasks:

Create custom mode VPC networks with firewall rules


Create VM instances using Compute Engine
Explore the connectivity for VM instances across VPC networks
Create a VM instance with multiple network interfaces

Setup and Requirements

Before you click the Start Lab button


Read these instructions. Labs are timed and you cannot pause them. The timer, which
starts when you click Start Lab, shows how long Cloud resources will be made available
to you.

This Qwiklabs hands-on lab lets you do the lab activities yourself in a real cloud
environment, not in a simulation or demo environment. It does so by giving you new,
temporary credentials that you use to sign in and access the Google Cloud Platform for
the duration of the lab.

What you need


To complete this lab, you need:

Access to a standard internet browser (Chrome browser recommended).


Time to complete the lab.

Note: If you already have your own personal GCP account or project, do not use it for
this lab.

How to start your lab and sign in to the Console


1. Click the Start Lab button. If you need to pay for the lab, a pop-up opens for you to
select your payment method. On the left is a panel populated with the temporary
credentials that you must use for this lab.

2. Copy the username, and then click . The lab spins up resources, and then opens
another tab that shows the Choose an account page.

Tip: Open the tabs in separate windows, side-by-side.

3. On the Choose an account page, click Use Another Account.

2/20
4. The Sign in page opens.
Paste the username that you
copied from the Connection
Details panel. Then copy and
paste the password.

Important: You must use the


credentials from the
Connection Details panel. Do
not use your Qwiklabs
credentials. If you have your
own GCP account, do not use
it for this lab (avoids
incurring charges).

5. Click through the subsequent pages:

Accept the terms and conditions.


Do not add recovery options or two-factor authentication (because this is a
temporary account).
Do not sign up for free trials.

After a few moments, the GCP console opens in this tab.

Note: You can view the menu with a list of GCP Products and Services by clicking the
Navigation menu at the top-left, next to “Google Cloud Platform”.

Google Cloud Shell is a virtual machine that is loaded with development tools. It offers a
persistent 5GB home directory and runs on the Google Cloud. Google Cloud Shell
provides command-line access to your GCP resources.

1. In GCP console, on the top right toolbar, click the Open Cloud Shell button.

3/20
2. In the dialog box that opens, click START CLOUD SHELL:

You can click "START CLOUD SHELL" immediately when the dialog box opens.

It takes a few moments to provision and connect to the environment. When you are
connected, you are already authenticated, and the project is set to your PROJECT_ID. For
example:

gcloud is the command-line tool for Google Cloud Platform. It comes pre-installed on
Cloud Shell and supports tab-completion.

You can list the active account name with this command:

gcloud auth list

Output:

Credentialed accounts:
- <myaccount>@<mydomain>.com (active)

Example output:

You can list the project ID with this command:


4/20
gcloud config list project

Output:

[core]
project = <project_ID>

Example output:

[core]
project = qwiklabs-gcp-44776a13dea667a6

default AUTO REGIONAL
managementnet CUSTOM REGIONAL
mynetwork AUTO REGIONAL
privatenet CUSTOM REGIONAL

default and mynetwork are auto mode networks, whereas, managementnet and
privatenet are custom mode networks. Auto mode networks create subnets in each
region automatically, while custom mode networks start with no subnets, giving you full
control over subnet creation
8/20
5. Run the following command, to list the available VPC subnets (sorted by VPC
network):

gcloud compute networks subnets list --sort-by=NETWORK

The output should look like this (do not copy; this is example output):

privatesubnet-eu europe-west1 privatenet 172.20.0.0/20
privatesubnet-us us-central1 privatenet 172.16.0.0/24

As expected, the default and mynetwork networks have subnets in each region as they
are auto mode networks. The managementnet and privatenet networks only have the
subnets that you created as they are custom mode networks.

6. In the Console, navigate to Navigation menu ( ) > VPC network > VPC
networks.

7. You see that the same networks and subnets are listed in the Console.

9/20

privatenet-us-vm us-central1-c n1-standard-1 172.16.0.2 35.184.221.40 RUNNING

3. In the Console, navigate to Navigation menu ( ) > Compute Engine > VM


instances.

4. You see that the VM instances are listed in the Console.

5. Click on Columns, then select Network.

There are three instances in us-central1-c and one instance in europe-west1-c.


However, these instances are spread across three VPC networks
(managementnet, mynetwork and privatenet), with no instance in the same

13/20
zone and network as another. In the next section, you explore the effect this has
on internal connectivity.

Explore the connectivity between VM instances


Explore the connectivity between the VM instances. Specifically, determine the effect of
having VM instances in the same zone versus having instances in the same VPC network.

Ping the external IP addresses


Ping the external IP addresses of the VM instances to determine if you can reach the
instances from the public internet.

1. In the Console, navigate to Navigation menu ( ) > Compute Engine > VM


instances.

2. Note the external IP addressees for mynet-eu-vm, managementnet-us-vm, and


privatenet-us-vm.

3. For mynet-us-vm, click SSH to launch a terminal and connect.

4. To test connectivity to mynet-eu-vm's external IP, run the following command,


replacing mynet-eu-vm's external IP:

ping -c 3 <Enter mynet-eu-vm's external IP here>

This should work!

5. To test connectivity to managementnet-us-vm's external IP, run the following


command, replacing managementnet-us-vm's external IP:

ping -c 3 <Enter managementnet-us-vm's external IP here>

This should work!

6. To test connectivity to privatenet-us-vm's external IP, run the following command,


replacing privatenet-us-vm's external IP:

ping -c 3 <Enter privatenet-us-vm's external IP here>

This should work!

You are able to ping the external IP address of all VM instances, even though they are
either in a different zone or VPC network. This confirms public access to those instances
is only controlled by the ICMP firewall rules that you established earlier.

Ping the internal IP addresses

14/20
Ping the internal IP addresses of the VM instances to determine if you can reach the
instances from within a VPC network.

1. In the Console, navigate to Navigation menu ( ) > Compute Engine > VM


instances.

2. Note the internal IP addressees for mynet-eu-vm, managementnet-us-vm, and


privatenet-us-vm.

3. Return to the SSH terminal for mynet-us-vm.

4. To test connectivity to mynet-eu-vm's internal IP, run the following command,


replacing mynet-eu-vm's internal IP:

ping -c 3 <Enter mynet-eu-vm's internal IP here>

You are able to ping the internal IP address of mynet-eu-vm because it is on the same
VPC network as the source of the ping (mynet-us-vm), even though both VM instances
are in separate zones, regions and continents!

5. To test connectivity to managementnet-us-vm's internal IP, run the following


command, replacing managementnet-us-vm's internal IP:

ping -c 3 <Enter managementnet-us-vm's internal IP here>

This should not work as indicated by a 100% packet loss!

6. To test connectivity to privatenet-us-vm's internal IP, run the following command,


replacing privatenet-us-vm's internal IP:

ping -c 3 <Enter privatenet-us-vm's internal IP here>

This should not work either as indicated by a 100% packet loss! You are unable to ping
the internal IP address of managementnet-us-vm and privatenet-us-vm because they
are in separate VPC networks from the source of the ping (mynet-us-vm), even though
they are all in the same zone us-central1.

VPC networks are by default isolated private networking domains. However, no internal
IP address communication is allowed between networks, unless you set up mechanisms
such as VPC peering or VPN.

Create a VM instance with multiple network interfaces


Every instance in a VPC network has a default network interface. You can create
additional network interfaces attached to your VMs. Multiple network interfaces enable
you to create configurations in which an instance connects directly to several VPC
networks (up to 8 interfaces, depending on the instance's type).

15/20
Create the VM instance with multiple network interfaces
Create the vm-appliance instance with network interfaces in privatesubnet-us,
managementsubnet-us and mynetwork. The CIDR ranges of these subnets do not
overlap, which is a requirement for creating a VM with multiple network interface
controllers (NICs).

1. In the Console, navigate to Navigation menu ( ) > Compute Engine > VM


instances.

2. Click Create instance.

3. Set the following values, leave all other values at their defaults:

Property Value (type value or select option as specified)

Name vm-appliance

Region us-central1

Zone us-central1-c

Machine type 4 vCPUs

The number of interfaces allowed in an instance is dependent on the instance's machine


type and the number of vCPUs. The n1-standard-4 allows up to 4 network interfaces.
Refer here for more information.

4. Click Management, disks, networking, SSH keys.

5. Click Networking.

6. For Network interfaces, click the pencil icon to edit.

7. Set the following values, leave all other values at their defaults:

Property Value (type value or select option as specified)

VM's terminal.

1. In the Console, navigate to Navigation menu ( ) > Compute Engine > VM


instances.
2. Click nic0 within the Internal IP address of vm-appliance to open the Network
interface details page.
3. Verify that nic0 is attached to privatesubnet-us, is assigned an internal IP address
within that subnet (172.16.0.0/24), and has applicable firewall rules.
4. Click nic0 and select nic1.
5. Verify that nic1 is attached to managementsubnet-us, is assigned an internal IP
address within that subnet (10.130.0.0/20), and has applicable firewall rules.
6. Click nic1 and select nic2.
7. Verify that nic2 is attached to mynetwork, is assigned an internal IP address
within that subnet (10.128.0.0/20), and has applicable firewall rules.

Each network interface has its own internal IP address so that the VM instance can
communicate with those networks.

17/20
8. In the Console, navigate to Navigation menu ( ) > Compute Engine > VM
instances.

9. For vm-appliance, click SSH to launch a terminal and connect.

10. Run the following, to list the network interfaces within the VM instance:

sudo ifconfig

The output should look like this (do not copy; this is example output):

The sudo ifconfig command lists a Linux VM's network interfaces along with the internal
IP addresses for each interface.

Explore the network interface connectivity


Demonstrate that the vm-appliance instance is connected to privatesubnet-us,
managementsubnet-us and mynetwork by pinging VM instances on those subnets.

1. In the Console, navigate to Navigation menu ( ) > Compute Engine > VM


instances.

2. Note the internal IP addressees for privatenet-us-vm, managementnet-us-vm,


mynet-us-vm, and mynet-eu-vm.

3. Return to the SSH terminal for vm-appliance.

18/20
4. To test connectivity to privatenet-us-vm's internal IP, run the following command,
replacing privatenet-us-vm's internal IP:

ping -c 3 <Enter privatenet-us-vm's internal IP here>

This works!

5. Repeat the same test by running the following:

ping -c 3 privatenet-us-vm

You are able to ping privatenet-us-vm by its name because VPC networks have an
internal DNS service that allows you to address instances by their DNS names rather
than their internal IP addresses. When an internal DNS query is made with the instance
hostname, it resolves to the primary interface (nic0) of the instance. Therefore, this only
works for privatenet-us-vm in this case.

6. To test connectivity to managementnet-us-vm's internal IP, run the following


command, replacing managementnet-us-vm's internal IP:

ping -c 3 <Enter managementnet-us-vm's internal IP here>

This works!

7. To test connectivity to mynet-us-vm's internal IP, run the following command,


replacing mynet-us-vm's internal IP:

ping -c 3 <Enter mynet-us-vm's internal IP here>

This works!

8. To test connectivity to mynet-eu-vm's internal IP, run the following command,


replacing mynet-eu-vm's internal IP:

ping -c 3 <Enter mynet-eu-vm's internal IP here>

This does not work! In a multiple interface instance, every interface gets a route for the
subnet that it is in. In addition, the instance gets a single default route that is associated
with the primary interface eth0. Unless manually configured otherwise, any traffic
leaving an instance for any destination other than a directly connected subnet will leave
the instance via the default route on eth0.

9. To list the routes for vm-appliance instance, run the following command:

ip route

The output should look like this (do not copy; this is example output):

19/20
default via 172.16.0.1 dev eth0
10.128.0.0/20 via 10.128.0.1 dev eth2
10.128.0.1 dev eth2 scope link
10.130.0.0/20 via 10.130.0.1 dev eth1
10.130.0.1 dev eth1 scope link
172.16.0.0/24 via 172.16.0.1 dev eth0
172.16.0.1 dev eth0 scope link

The primary interface eth0 gets the default route (default via 172.16.0.1 dev eth0), and
all three interfaces eth0, eth1 and eth2 get routes for their respective subnets. Since, the
subnet of mynet-eu-vm (10.132.0.0/20) is not included in this routing table, the ping to
that instance leaves vm-appliance on eth0 (which is on a different VPC network). You
could change this behavior by configuring policy routing as documented here.

Congratulations!
In this lab, you created several custom mode VPC networks, firewall rules and VM
instances using the Console and the Cloud Shell command line. Then, you tested the
connectivity across VPC networks which worked when pinging external IP addresses but
not when pinging internal IP addresses. Thus, you created a VM instance with three
network interfaces and verified internal connectivity for VM instances that are on the
subnets that are attached to the multiple interface VM.

You also explored the default network along with its subnets, routes, and firewall rules.
You deleted the default network and determined that you cannot create any VM
instances without a VPC network. Thus, you created a new auto mode VPC network with
subnets, routes, firewall rules and two VM instances. Then, you tested the connectivity
for the VM instances and explored the effects of the firewall rules on connectivity.
