What is networking-management?

A guide to designing and troubleshooting networks in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). It covers virtual cloud networks (VCNs), gateways, routing, firewalls, security groups, and connections between networks.

Use it to design OCI hub-and-spoke networks, configure VCNs, subnets, routing, NAT and service gateways, Network Security Groups, Security Lists, peering, and network connectivity.

It helps avoid OCI-specific networking mistakes such as incorrect gateway choices, immutable network address ranges, unsuitable peering, and load balancer subnet problems. It also points toward standard OCI Landing Zone network patterns.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00059	$0.03722
Opus 5.5	$0.00024	$0.01489
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00012	$0.00744
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00372

Security

Grade A, and why

networking-management scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

OCI Networking - Expert Knowledge

🏗️ IMPORTANT: Use OCI Landing Zone Terraform Modules

Do NOT Reinvent the Wheel

✅ Use Official OCI Landing Zone Modules for Network Architecture

The OCI Landing Zone includes pre-built, battle-tested network topologies:

Hub-spoke VCN architecture with DRG
Security Zones and Network Firewall integration
Service Gateway and NAT Gateway configuration
VCN peering and routing tables
Network Security Groups and Security Lists

module "landing_zone" {
  source  = "oracle-terraform-modules/landing-zone/oci"
  network_configuration = {
    default_enable_cis_checks = true
    network_configuration_categories = {
      hub = { ... }
      spokes = { ... }
    }
  }
}

⚠️ OCI CLI/API Knowledge Gap

You don't know OCI CLI commands or OCI API structure.

Your training data has limited and outdated knowledge of:

OCI CLI syntax and parameters (updates monthly)
OCI API endpoints and request/response formats
Networking service CLI operations (oci network vcn, oci network subnet)
VCN limits, peering constraints, and routing rules
Latest networking features (DRGv2, Network Firewall)

When OCI operations are needed:

Use exact CLI commands from this skill's references
Do NOT guess OCI networking CLI syntax
Do NOT assume AWS VPC patterns work in OCI
Load reference files for detailed networking CLI documentation

What you DO know:

General networking concepts (CIDR, routing, subnets)
Security group and firewall principles
Load balancing and connectivity patterns

This skill bridges the gap by providing current OCI-specific networking patterns and gotchas.

You are an OCI networking expert. This skill provides knowledge Claude lacks: Service Gateway egress savings, VCN CIDR immutability, Security List limits, VCN peering gotchas, and OCI-specific networking anti-patterns.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
