--- title: "Deploying a Two Network Interfaces Instance of vNIOS for GCP" canonical: "https://docs.infoblox.com/space/vniosgcp/32243785/Deploying%20a%20Two%20Network%20Interfaces%20Instance%20of%20vNIOS%20for%20GCP" format: markdown --- This section provides steps on how to deploy a vNIOS instance that is configured with two network interfaces. To deploy vNIOS for GCP using VM instances, complete the following: 1. Log in to your Google Cloud Console. URL: [*https://console.cloud.google.com*](https://console.cloud.google.com) 2. Navigate to **Compute Engine** -> **VM instances**. 3. In the *VM instances* panel, click **Create Instance**. To ensure that your vNIOS for GCP functions properly, update the instance configuration as required. For specifications, see [*Supported vNIOS for GCP Models*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/vniosgcpca/pages/32243757). > Macro (inline-media-image) 4. In the *Create an instance* panel, complete the following. Note that GCP automatically populates some field values based on previous configurations. Click a field that you want to make changes to and update the values: - **Name**: Enter a name for the instance. - **Region**: Choose the Google Cloud region from the drop-down list. - **Zone**: Choose a zone where you want your data to be stored. - **Machine type**: Choose a value from the drop-down list. For more information, see [*Supported vNIOS for GCP Models*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/display/vniosgcp/Supported+vNIOS+for+GCP+Models). - **Boot disk**: You can select an image or a snapshot to create a new boot disk, or attach an existing disk to the instance. To select the vNIOS image that you created, complete the following: - Click **Change**. - In the *Boot disk* panel, click **Custom images**. - Select the vNIOS for GCP image from the public bucket. - Change the **Boot disk type** to **Standard persistent disk**. - Change the **Size** to **250** GB. - Click **Select**. > Macro (inline-media-image) - **Management, security, disks, networking, sole tenancy**: Expand the **Management, security, disks, networking, sole tenancy** menu and complete the following: - **Management** tab: Go to the *Metadata* section and add the following key-value pair: - Add **Key**:` user-data`. - Add **Value**: `#infoblox-config` `temp_license: nios xx-Vxxxx enterprise dns` `remote_console_enabled: y` - **Networking** tab: NIOS needs two interfaces, one for data and the other for management. By default, the GCP instance has a network interface added and allocated to the MGMT port. Click the Edit icon and update the values in the *Network interface* dialog box as follows: - **Network**: Change the default network to the correct network. - **Subnetwork**: Select your subnetwork. - Click **Done**. > Macro (inline-media-image) - To add the second network interface and allocate it to the LAN1 port, in the *Network interfaces* section, click **Add network interface**. - In the *Network interface* dialog box, for the second interface that is **network1**, choose **subnet1** as the subnet. - On the **Security** tab add your SSH key string. - Click **Done**. 5. Click **Create** to deploy the vNIOS for GCP instance. > Macro (__confluenceADFMigrationUnsupportedContentInternalExtension__)
