Manage CIDR Ranges

Create, view, edit and, delete CIDR Ranges and CIDR Range Exclusions.

All Stax VPCs reside within a CIDR Range. A CIDR Range is the overarching object within a Stax Networking Hub that contains VPCs and Exclusions. The configured CIDR Range must be contained within an RFC1918-compliant private address space. You should confirm your CIDR ranges with your networking team before configuring them in a Stax Networking Hub. Some examples of supported CIDR ranges are below.

The largest supported size for a Stax CIDR Range is /8, while the smallest is /23.

CIDR Ranges support Exclusions to exempt certain portions of CIDR ranges that must be excluded for past/future use.
