You can create multiple VMware Engine networks to isolate\nprivate clouds and define unique VPC network peerings. VMware Engine\nnetworks handle connections to and from private clouds according to a [network\npolicy](/vmware-engine/docs/preview/networking/network-policies) that you define separately.\n| **Note:** Projects created before November 2023 have *Legacy VMware Engine Networks* that are no longer available in newer projects. Google automatically created these networks for you; as such, these steps are only applicable for standard networks. For more information on legacy and standard networks, review the [Network overview](/vmware-engine/docs/networking/vmware-engine-network).\n\nBefore you begin\n----------------\n\n### Google Cloud CLI and API requirements\n\nTo use the `gcloud` command line tool or the API to manage your VMware Engine\nresources, we recommend configuring the tools as described below. \n\n### gcloud\n\n1. Set your default project ID:\n\n ```\n gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID\n ```\n2. Set a default region and zone:\n\n ```\n gcloud config set compute/region REGION\n ``` \n\n ```\n gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE\n ```\n\nFor more information on the `gcloud vmware` tool,\n[see the Cloud SDK reference docs](/sdk/gcloud/reference/vmware).\n\n### API\n\nAPI examples in this documentation set use the `cURL` command-line tool to\nquery the API. A valid access token is required as part of the `cURL`\nrequest. There are many ways to get a valid access token; the following\nsteps use the `gcloud` tool to generate a access token:\n\n1. Login to Google Cloud:\n\n ```\n gcloud auth login\n ```\n2. Generate access token and export to TOKEN:\n\n ```\n export TOKEN=`gcloud auth print-access-token`\n ```\n3. Verify that TOKEN is set properly:\n\n ```\n echo $TOKEN\n ```\n\nNow, use the authorization token in your requests to the API. For example: \n\n```\ncurl -X GET -H \"Authorization: Bearer \\\"$TOKEN\\\"\" -H \"Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8\" https://vmwareengine.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations\n```\n\n### Python\n\nPython code samples in this documentation use the [VMware Engine library](https://cloud.google.com/python/docs/reference/vmwareengine/latest) to communicate with the API. To be able to use this approach, the library needs to be installed and the [Application Default Credentials](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/application-default-credentials) should be configured.\n\n1. Download and install the Python library:\n\n ```\n pip install google-cloud-vmwareengine\n ```\n2. Configure the ADC information by executing those command in your shell:\n\n ```\n gcloud auth application-default login\n ```\n\n Or, use a Service Account key file: \n\n ```\n export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=\"FILE_PATH\"\n ```\n\nFor more information about the library, visit the [reference page](/python/docs/reference/vmwareengine/latest) or view [code samples on GitHub](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples/tree/main/vmwareengine/cloud-client).\n\nCreate a VMware Engine network\n------------------------------\n\nCreate a VMware Engine network using the Google Cloud console,\ngcloud CLI, or VMware Engine API: \n\n### Console\n\nTo create a VMware Engine network using the VMware Engine:\n\n1.

Click **Select a project** and then select the organization, folder, or project\n where you want to create the VMware Engine network.\n\n3. Click **Create**. A VMware Engine network creation form opens.\n\n4. Enter a VMware Engine network name.\n\n5. Enter a description for the network, for example \"My standard VEN 1\", and\n then click **Create**.\n\n6. Optional: Confirm the creation of your network by navigating to the\n **VMware Engine networks** menu item. All VMware Engine\n networks are listed in the table on this page.\n\nThe following list describes each field during network creation in more detail:\n\n- **Name:** Permanent unique identifier of the VMware Engine network.\n- **Description:** Additional information that's visible on the details page of the VMware Engine network.\n- **Network type:** Network type identifier used to support networking use cases and standard private cloud deployments.\n- **Region:** This depends on whether you are using Standard\n VMware Engine or Legacy VMware Engine networks.\n\n - For legacy networks, this is the region where the network has connectivity.\n - For standard networks, this field is always set to global.\n\n### gcloud\n\nTo create a VMware Engine network using the gcloud CLI:\n\n1. Run [`gcloud vmware networks create` command](/sdk/gcloud/reference/vmware/networks/create):\n\n ```\n gcloud vmware networks create NETWORK_ID \\\n --type=STANDARD \\\n --description=\"DESCRIPTION\"\n ```\n\n Replace the following:\n - \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eNETWORK_ID\u003c/var\u003e: the ID for your VMware Engine network.\n - \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c/var\u003e: a description for this network.\n2. Optional: If you want to list all VMware Engine networks to confirm the creation of the new network, use the [`gcloud vmware networks list` command](/sdk/gcloud/reference/vmware/networks/list):\n\n ```\n gcloud vmware networks list \\\n --location=global\n ```\n\n### API\n\nTo create a VMware Engine network using the VMware Engine API, do the following:\n\n1.
