Link a Managed Database to a dedicated server
Some dedicated server configurations Chipcore Line cannot be added to a global router network because they lack a port for connection to a private network. You can check for a private network port in the Control Panel on the server page on the Ports tab.
- Create a global router.
- Connect to the global router a network and subnet linking to the dedicated server VLAN.
- Connect to the global router a network and subnet linking to the Cloud Platform project.
- Assign IP addresses from the created subnets to the dedicated server.
- Specify routes on the dedicated server.
- Create a Managed Database cluster: new or from a backup of an existing Managed Database cluster.
See an example of networking between a dedicated server and a Managed Database.
Example of networking between a Managed Database and a dedicated server
If you need to configure private connectivity between a dedicated server in the SPB-2 pool and a new Managed Database in the ru-2 pool:
- Create a global router.
- Connect two private subnets to the router —
192.168.0.0/29with a gateway of192.168.0.1for the SPB-2 pool and172.16.0.0/29with a gateway of172.16.0.1for the ru-2 pool. - Assign an address from the
192.168.0.0/29subnet to the dedicated server, for example,192.168.0.2. - Specify routes on the dedicated server in the SPB-2 pool — in the
172.16.0.0/29subnet via the gateway192.168.0.1. - Create a new Managed Database cluster on the subnet
172.16.0.0/29.

1. Create a global router
- In the Control panel, in the top menu, click Products and select Global Router.
- Click Create router. A limit of five global routers is set for each account.
- Enter the router name.
- Click Create.
- If the router was created with the status
ERRORor is stuck in one of the statuses, create a ticket.
2. Connect to the router a network and subnet linking to the dedicated server VLAN
You can connect a new or existing network to the router if it is not already connected to any of the account's global routers.
-
In the control panel, on the top menu, click Products and select Global Router.
-
Go to the router page → Networks tab.
-
Click Create network.
-
Enter a network name. It will only be used in the control panel.
-
Select the Servers and Equipment service.
-
Select a location for the network.
-
Select or enter a VLAN.
-
If you want to create a network up to an internal segment (Q-in-Q), specify its tag—a number from 2 to 4094. If a network already exists for the VLAN, you must specify the Q-in-Q segment of this VLAN.
-
Enter a subnet name. It will only be used in the control panel.
-
Enter the CIDR—the IP address and mask of the private subnet. You can enter a new subnet or an existing private server subnet if it has not yet been added to any of the global routers in the account. The subnet must meet the following conditions:
- belong to the RFC 1918 private address range:
10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12or192.168.0.0/16; - have a size of at least
/29, as three addresses will be occupied by Servercore network equipment; - do not overlap with other subnets added to this router—IP addresses must not repeat across subnets on the same router;
- if a Managed Kubernetes cluster on cloud servers is included in the global router network, the subnet must not overlap with the ranges
10.10.0.0/16,10.96.0.0/12,10.250.0.0/16and10.251.0.0/24. If a cluster on dedicated servers is included in the network — with ranges10.10.0.0/16,10.222.0.0/16,10.250.0.0/16,10.251.0.0/24and172.250.0.0/14. These subnets are used for Managed Kubernetes internal addressing, and their use may lead to conflicts in the global router network.
- belong to the RFC 1918 private address range:
-
Enter the gateway IP or leave the first address from the subnet that is assigned by default. Do not assign this address to your devices to avoid network disruption.
-
Enter the service IPs or leave the last addresses from the subnet that are assigned by default. Do not assign these addresses to your devices to avoid network disruption.
-
Click Create network.
-
Optional: check the network topology on the global router. In the Control panel, in the top menu, click Products → Global Router → router page → Network map.
-
If you specified a Q-in-Q tag in step 8, you need to enable Q-in-Q technology on the switch port and configure the private network interface that you specified in step 10. Learn more in the Configure Q-in-Q section of the Q-in-Q guide.
3. Connect to the router a network and subnet linking to the Cloud Platform project
You can connect a new or existing network to the router if it is not already connected to any of the account's global routers.
Connect a new network
Connect an existing network
-
In the Control panel, on the top menu, click Products and select Global Router.
-

-
Click Create network.
-
Enter a network name. It will only be used in the control panel.
-
Select the Cloud Platform service.
-
Select the network location.
-
Select a project.
-
Enter a subnet name. It will only be used in the control panel.
-
Enter the CIDR — the IP address and subnet mask. The subnet must meet the following conditions:
- belong to the RFC 1918 private address range:
10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12or192.168.0.0/16; - have a size of at least
/29, as three addresses will be occupied by Servercore network equipment; - does not overlap with other subnets added to this router — there must be no identical IP addresses within the subnets of a single router;
- если in сеть глобального роутера будет включен кластер Managed Kubernetes on облачных серверах, подсеть не должна пересекаться with диапазонами
10.10.0.0/16,10.96.0.0/12,10.250.0.0/16and10.251.0.0/24. Если in сеть будет включен кластер on выделенных серверах — with диапазонами10.10.0.0/16,10.222.0.0/16,10.250.0.0/16,10.251.0.0/24and172.250.0.0/14. Эти подсети участвуют во внутренней адресации Managed Kubernetes, их использование может привести к конфликтам in сети глобального роутера.
- belong to the RFC 1918 private address range:
-
Enter the gateway IP or leave the first address from the subnet, which is assigned by default. Do not assign this address to your devices to avoid disrupting network operations.
-
Enter the service IPs or leave the last addresses from the subnet, which are assigned by default. Do not assign these addresses to your devices to avoid disrupting network operations.
-
Click Create network.
-
Optional: check the network topology on the Global Router. In the Control panel, on the top menu, click Products → Global Router → router page → Network map.
4. Assign an IP address to the dedicated server
Configure a local port on the dedicated server that joins the global router network. Assign to the port an IP address from the private subnet that you connected to the global router for the dedicated server.
Ubuntu
Debian
CentOS
Windows
-
Open the
netplanutility configuration file with thevi:vi /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml -
Add or change the values of the private network interface settings:
<eth_name>:addresses: [<ip_address>]Specify:
<eth_name>— the name of the private network interface;<ip_address>— the private IP address of the server with a subnet mask, for example192.168.0.2/24.
-
Press ESC.
-
Exit the
vitext editor with your changes saved::wq -
Apply the configuration:
netplan apply -
Optional: reboot the server.
-
Optional: assign a private IP address to the server in the control panel.
5. Specify routes on the dedicated server
Ubuntu
Debian
CentOS
Windows
-
Open the network configuration file:
vi /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml -
At the end of the data block for the required network interface, add the route:
routes:- to: <ip_address>/<mask>via: <gateway>Specify:
<ip_address>/<mask>— the subnet to which you need to add a route, specifying the mask, for example192.168.0.0/28;<gateway>— the gateway for the current server's subnet, which is specified on the global router.
-
If you need to define multiple routes, add them sequentially in the same block, for example:
routes:- to: 192.168.0.0/28via: 172.16.0.1- to: 192.168.1.0/28via: 172.16.0.1 -
Save the file.
-
Check the settings:
sudo netplan try -
Apply the changes:
netplan apply

Select a connection pooler mode:
- transaction — connection assigned to a client for the duration of a transaction;
- session — connection assigned while a client is connected;
- statement — transactions with multiple statements are prohibited.
-
Optional: change the DBMS settings; to do this, click Edit. We recommend changing settings only when necessary — incorrect values can reduce cluster performance.
-
Click Create database cluster. The cluster will be ready to work once it enters the
ACTIVEstatus.
