Endpoint Manager
Endpoint Manager splits a virtual network address space into tenant-owned subnets. You track usage and block traffic for a prefix or a single host. After you add a subnet, Control Center creates an Endpoint service for each address so you can open that host on its own.
You order Endpoint Manager. Endpoints appear afterwards — you do not order them from Add Service.

Order an Endpoint Manager
- Navigate to the Home page of the Wanscale Control Center.
- Click Add Service.
- Select Endpoint Manager.
- Click Go to service form.
- Complete the form:
- Label: Enter a name you will recognise later.
- Tags (optional): Add labels for your own organisation.
- Click Submit.
Control Center opens the Endpoint Manager overview.
Overview and readiness
The overview puts readiness and inventory first. You see:
- Core service details (name, tags, deployment status).
- Network blocking — the linked virtual network, or a Virtual network list and Configure blocking when none is linked yet.
- Subnets — how many subnets you have, including how many are disabled.
- IP addresses — how many addresses exist, including how many are blocked.
- Fields — how many custom fields you have defined.
Click Actions for day-to-day changes: name, tags, Manage fields, and Manage subnets.
If the Endpoint Manager has ended, a warning explains that changes are no longer available.
Link a virtual network
You must link a virtual network before you can create a subnet.
- Navigate to the Endpoint Manager overview (General).
- Under Network blocking, choose a Virtual network.
- Click Configure blocking.
After that, the card shows the linked virtual network. On Subnets, Add Subnet stays unavailable until this is done. Control Center shows: Link this Endpoint Manager to a virtual network on the General page before creating a subnet.
Subnets
Open Subnets in the sidebar. The page is a searchable inventory table.
Search with Search CIDR or tenant. Columns include CIDR, Assigned tenant, whether the subnet is Enabled or Disabled, and whether it is Blocked or Unblocked.
When there are no subnets yet, the table says No subnets.
Expand a row to see the endpoints in that subnet. Click an address to open that Endpoint.
Add a subnet
- Navigate to Subnets.
- Click Add Subnet.
- Complete:
- Subnet (CIDR): The child prefix, for example
10.0.0.0/24. - Assigned tenant: The tenant that will own this block.
- Subnet (CIDR): The child prefix, for example
- Click Add.
Control Center creates endpoints for addresses in that subnet. Those endpoints also appear in Services.
Enable, disable, and block
On a subnet row, open the actions menu:
- Enable / Disable — turns the subnet on or off for every endpoint in it.
- Block / Unblock — blocks or allows traffic for the whole subnet, not just one host. Block entire subnet? warns that every endpoint in the prefix is affected.
Use the chart icon on a row to open Accounting for that subnet.
Delete a subnet
Warning
Deleting a subnet also deletes every endpoint in it. This cannot be undone.
- On the subnet row, open the actions menu and click Delete.
- Control Center asks Delete subnet …? and tells you the prefix and its endpoints will be removed permanently.
- Type the CIDR in Type … to confirm.
- Click Delete. The button stays unavailable until the CIDR matches.
Accounting
Open Accounting in the sidebar for usage across this Endpoint Manager.
- Choose a period (such as month to date, last week, or a custom range).
- Switch between daily and hourly views, and between a chart and a table.
- Download CSV or Excel for the selected period.
The same export is available from a subnet row and from an Endpoint.
Daily FTP export
The scheduled file is not set up on Endpoint Manager. Open tenant settings and use FTP configuration.
When a destination is set, Control Center sends:
- One file per tenant — all subnets for that tenant together, not one file per subnet.
- The file at 07:00, so the previous calendar day is complete.
On FTP configuration you set protocol (FTP or SFTP), host, port, username, remote path, and password. When nothing is set, Control Center explains that no FTP export destination is configured.
Fields
Custom fields let you attach labels such as a client ID or project code to endpoints.
- Navigate to Fields in the sidebar.
- Click Add Field.
- Enter a Field Name.
- Click Add.
Those fields then appear on each Endpoint, where you can fill in values.
Note
Applying Changes: Like other services in Control Center, some configuration is not active until you deploy pending changes. See Workflows and Applying Changes.
