<listitem><para><emphasis role="bold">System Offering</emphasis>. If the service provider for any of the
services selected in Supported Services is a virtual router, the System
Offering field appears. Choose the system service offering that you want
virtual routers to use in this network. For example, if you selected Load
Balancer in Supported Services and selected a virtual router to provide load
balancing, the System Offering field appears so you can choose between the
&PRODUCT; default system service offering and any custom system service
offerings that have been defined by the &PRODUCT; root administrator.
For more information, see System Service Offerings.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><emphasis role="bold">Redundant router capability</emphasis>. (v3.0.3 and greater) Available
only when Virtual Router is selected as the Source NAT provider. Select this
option if you want to use two virtual routers in the network for
uninterrupted connection: one operating as the master virtual router and the
other as the backup. The master virtual router receives requests from and
sends responses to the users VM. The backup virtual router is activated
only when the master is down. After the failover, the backup becomes the
master virtual router. &PRODUCT; deploys the routers on different hosts
to ensure reliability if one host is down.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><emphasis role="bold">Conserve mode</emphasis>. Indicate whether to use conserve mode. In this
mode, network resources are allocated only when the first virtual machine
starts in the network. When the conservative mode is off, the public IP can
only be used for a single service. For example, a public IP used for a port
forwarding rule cannot be used for defining other services, such as SaticNAT
or load balancing. When the conserve mode is on, you can define more than
one service on the same public IP.</para>
<note><para>If StaticNAT is enabled, irrespective of the status of the conserve mode, no port forwarding
or load balancing rule can be created for the IP. However, you can add
the firewall rules by using the createFirewallRule command.</para></note></listitem>
<listitem><para><emphasis role="bold">Tags</emphasis>. Network tag to specify which physical network to
use.</para></listitem>
