Create VMs with multiple network interfaces

This page describes how to create VM instances with multiple network interfaces.

Before you begin, ensure that you're familiar with the characteristics of instances with multiple network interfaces as described in the Multiple network interfaces overview.

IAM roles

To create an instance with multiple network interfaces, you must have one of the following roles:

Creating and deleting instances and instance templates with multiple interfaces in a project not using a Shared VPC environment: A user with the Owner, Editor, or Compute Instance Admin (v1) role can create an instance with multiple interfaces associated with VPC networks and subnets that are part of that same project.

Creating and deleting instances and instance templates with multiple interfaces in Shared VPC environments: A user with the Owner, Editor, or Compute Instance Admin (v1) role can create an instance with multiple interfaces. If any of the interfaces are attached to a subnet in a Shared VPC host project, you must also have the Compute Network User role (roles/compute.networkUser) for the whole host project or for the subnets you need to use.

To learn more about permissions, read the Compute Engine IAM documentation.

Create VM instances with multiple network interfaces

This section describes how to create an instance with multiple network interfaces, including vNICs and Dynamic NICs. For general instructions about creating instances, see Create and start a VM instance.

The first interface is always created as nic0, and it is always the default interface.

Note: To create a multi-NIC instance with Dynamic NICs (Preview), you must use the beta version of the gcloud CLI or API. The Google Cloud console doesn't support creating instances with Dynamic NICs. Console
  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Create an instance page.

    Go to Create an instance

  2. In the Name field, enter a name for the instance.

  3. In the Region field, select a region.

  4. In the Zone field, select a zone.

  5. In the Advanced options section, expand Networking, and then do the following:

    1. In the Network interfaces section, expand the network interface to edit it.

    2. For Network and Subnetwork, select the network and subnetwork that you want to use.

      If you want to configure IPv6 addresses on the interface, select a subnet that has an IPv6 address range configured. The IPv6 access type of the subnet determines whether the instance receives an internal IPv6 address or an external IPv6 address.

    3. Select one of the following options for the IP stack type for the interface:

      • IPv4 (single-stack)
      • IPv4 and IPv6 (dual-stack)
      • IPv6 (single-stack) (Preview)
    4. For interfaces with IPv4 addresses, do the following:

      1. For Primary internal IPv4 address, select one of the following:

        • Ephemeral (Automatic) to automatically assign a new ephemeral IPv4 address
        • Ephemeral (Custom) to manually specify a new ephemeral IPv4 address
        • A reserved static internal IPv4 address from the list
        • Reserve static internal IPv4 address to reserve and assign a new static internal IPv4 address
      2. For External IPv4 address, select one of the following:

        • Ephemeral to assign a new ephemeral IPv4 address
        • None to not assign an external IPv4 address
        • A reserved static IPv4 address from the list
        • Reserve static external IP address to reserve and assign a new static external IPv4 address
    5. For interfaces with IPv6 addresses, do the following, depending on the access type of the connected subnet:

      1. For Primary internal IPv6 address, select one of the following:
        • Ephemeral (Automatic) to automatically assign a new ephemeral internal IPv6 address
        • Ephemeral (Custom) to manually specify a new ephemeral internal IPv6 address
        • A reserved static internal IPv6 address from the list
        • Reserve static internal IPv6 address to reserve and assign a new static internal IPv6 address
      2. For External IPv6 address, select one of the following:
        • Auto-Allocate to automatically assign a new ephemeral external IPv6 address
        • A reserved static external IPv6 address from the list
        • Reserve static external IPv6 address to reserve and assign a new static external IPv6 address
    6. To finish modifying the network interface, click Done.

  6. To add another interface, click Add network interface.

  7. Continue with the instance creation process.

  8. Click Create.

gcloud

To create network interfaces on a new instance, use the gcloud compute instances create command.

Include the --network-interface flag for each interface, followed by any appropriate networking keys, such as network, subnet, private-network-ip, address, external-ipv6-address and vlan.

Including the vlan key creates a Dynamic NIC. If you create a Dynamic NIC, you must also follow the steps for configuring the guest OS for Dynamic NICs after you create the instance.

To view examples of how to create instances with multiple interfaces, see example configurations.

This snippet only illustrates the --network-interface flag, one of many possible parameters that you can specify when creating an instance.

gcloud compute instances create INSTANCE_NAME \
    --zone ZONE \
    --network-interface \
        network=NETWORK_A,subnet=SUBNET_A, \
        stack-type=STACK_TYPE, \
        private-network-ip=INTERNAL_IPV4_ADDRESS, \
        address=EXTERNAL_IPV4_ADDRESS | no-address, \
        internal-ipv6-address=INTERNAL_IPV6_ADDRESS \
    ...
    --network-interface \
        network=NETWORK_B,subnet=SUBNET_B, \
        stack-type=STACK_TYPE, \
        external-ipv6-address=EXTERNAL_IPV6_ADDRESS, \
        external-ipv6-prefix-length=96, \
        ipv6-network-tier=PREMIUM, \
        vlan=VLAN_ID \
    ...

Replace the following:

API

Use the instances.insert method to create an instance with multiple network interfaces.

Including the vlan field creates a Dynamic NIC. If you create a Dynamic NIC, you must also follow the steps for configuring the guest OS for Dynamic NICs after you create the instance.

See the following examples:

Terraform

You can use a Terraform resource to create an instance with multiple network interfaces.

The Terraform arguments have example values that you can change.

To learn how to apply or remove a Terraform configuration, see Basic Terraform commands.

Example configurations

The following sections show how to create instances with multiple interfaces.

Configure multiple vNICs and Dynamic NICs

Preview — Dynamic NICs

This feature is subject to the "Pre-GA Offerings Terms" in the General Service Terms section of the Service Specific Terms. Pre-GA features are available "as is" and might have limited support. For more information, see the launch stage descriptions.

The following sample command creates an instance with the following network interfaces:

gcloud beta compute instances create vm1 \
    --zone zone-a \
    --network-interface=network=network-a,subnet=subnet-a \
    --network-interface=network=network-b,subnet=subnet-b,vlan=2 \
    --network-interface=network=network-c,subnet=subnet-c \
    --network-interface=network=network-d,subnet=subnet-d,vlan=4 \
    --network-interface=network=network-e,subnet=subnet-e,vlan=5

After you create an instance with Dynamic NICs, you must also configure the guest OS for Dynamic NICs.

Configure multiple network interfaces with only IPv4 addresses

The following sample command creates an instance with three network interfaces.

 gcloud compute instances create vm1 --machine-type=n1-standard-4 \
    --network-interface '' \
    --network-interface network=net1,subnet=subnet-a,private-network-ip=10.10.10.2,address=EXTERNAL_IPV4_ADDRESS \
    --network-interface network=net2,subnet=subnet-b,private-network-ip=10.10.20.2,no-address

The interfaces are created as follows:

For a complete description of the gcloud compute instances create command and the --network-interface flag, read the documentation for the command.

You can use the IP address from the network interface that you have added to set up DNS forwarding. To learn more about configuring Cloud DNS forwarding zones, see Forwarding zones.

Configure multiple network interfaces with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses

The following sample command creates a dual-stack instance with two network interfaces.

gcloud compute instances create vm1 \
    --network-interface network=dual-int,subnet=int-subnet,stack-type=IPV4_IPV6 \
    --network-interface network=dual-ext,subnet=ext-subnet,stack-type=IPV4_IPV6,ipv6-network-tier=PREMIUM \
    --machine-type=n1-standard-4 --zone=ZONE_A

The interfaces are created as follows:

Configure multiple network interfaces with only IPv6 addresses

The following sample command creates an IPv6-only instance (Preview) with three network interfaces.

gcloud compute instances create vm1 \
    --network-interface network=ipv6-only-int-a,subnet=int-subnet-a,stack-type=IPV6_ONLY \
    --network-interface network=ipv6-only-int-b,subnet=int-subnet-b,stack-type=IPV6_ONLY,internal-ipv6-address=fd20:db8:0:0:1:0:: \
    --network-interface network=ipv6-only-ext,subnet=ext-subnet,stack-type=IPV6_ONLY,ipv6-network-tier=PREMIUM,external-ipv6-address=EXTERNAL_IPV6_ADDRESS \
    --machine-type=n1-standard-4 --zone=us-west2-a

The interfaces are created as follows:

Configure multiple network interfaces for instance groups Note: Managed instance groups are not supported for IPv6-only instances (Preview).

You can use instances with multiple network interfaces in unmanaged instance groups and managed instance groups.

For unmanaged instance groups, create each instance individually, ensuring that the nic0 network interface for each instance is attached to the same subnet. Then, add the instances to the unmanaged instance group.

To configure multiple network interfaces for managed instance groups, you must specify the network configuration for each interface in the instance template, by setting the --network-interface flag once for each interface. The following sample creates an instance template with three network interfaces:

gcloud compute instance-templates create template-1 \
    --network-interface subnet=net0-subnet-a \
    --network-interface subnet=net1-subnet-b,no-address \
    --network-interface subnet=net2-subnet-c,no-address \
    --region REGION_A

Because subnet names in each region of a project must be unique, specifying subnets by name implicitly associates each interface with a VPC network. Each interface must use a subnet that is in a unique VPC network:

The no-address option in the --network-interface flag indicates that the interface is configured without an external IPv4 address. The internal IP address comes from the subnet used by the interface. For complete information about the flags and syntax, see the --network-interface flag for the instance-templates create command.

Note: Connecting to a Shared VPC network by using interfaces other than nic0 is supported only in the gcloud CLI and the API for Compute Engine instance templates.
