Your next step is to create a “Cloud Network”. A Cloud Network is a collection of devices that share a common Layer 2 network. Devices joined to a Cloud Network have complete access to each other. Communication between devices via a Cloud Network is completely secured using encryption.
Provide a Name and Description for your Cloud Network
Click “Next”
Define an IP Address Pool - An IP Address Pool is used by a Cloud Network to assign IP addresses to devices as they join the Cloud Network. By default, Big Network automatically assigns an RFC1918-compatible address pool. Carefully select this range given the physical ports you connect to on Edge Pro. For our example LAN, pick an unused range of IP addresses from 192.168.10.0/24.
You may change the network address and range if desired.
Click “Next”
Define access to the Cloud Network - Existing users may be granted access to the Cloud Network, or you may invite users to join by email address.

Step #3: Bridge Cloud Network to Edge Pro Ports
Connecting physical ports on your Edge Pro to Cloud Networks create the final “gateway” connection needed to extend your physical network to a Cloud Network.
Navigate to “Edge Devices”
Select “Configure” next to the Edge Pro you on-boarded in Step #1.
Select “Networks” to see configured Networks on the Edge Pro.
Select “Edit Config”
Select “Create Local Network”
Expand the newly created network; select “Connection”
In “Connected Cloud Network” select the Cloud Network you defined in Step #2.
In “Connected LAN Interfaces” select the physical ports you connected in Step #0.
Click “Validate” to validate the configuration.
Click the “Pending Changes” gear to review configuration changes.
Click “Apply” to Apply the configuration changes.
Click “Back”.
Click “Config History” to observe the configuration being applied to Edge Pro. When the new configuration’s checkbox turns from Blue to Green, you know the new configuration is applied.
Step #4: Use Big Apps
Once your Cloud Network is defined, you will need to download and install Big Network’s Apps to join your Cloud Networks.
Install the application as directed.
Once installed, login using your username and password from the Registration step.
Join Cloud Networks.
