I don't know how can I config the XenServer 6.5 for working with networking. I ordered an subnet but I don't know how can I configure the XenServer to provide IPs to my vp. I read this article about how to add subnet ( http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX121169 ) but I don't know what I have to do next.

Thank you in advice.

Please read the manual:

Networking Configuration after Installation

After installation, the XenServer host has all the information it needs to connect to at least one of your external networks. This is because you define the following networking options while installing XenServer:

IP Address Configuratio n and Other Settings.

You set the host’s initial XenServer networking configuration when you first install XenServer on the physical computer.

XenServer Setup configures options, such as the IP address configuration (DHCP/static), based on the values you provide during installation.

Network Connectivity.

XenServer installation prepares each NIC connected to a switch for network connectivity by creating one network for each NIC. This means that if the host has, for example, three NICs, XenServer crea tes three networks: Network 0, Network 1, Network 2. For a visual explanation, see page 15.

Primary Management Interface and the Management Network.

During XenServer Setup, you specify an IP address for one NIC. XenServer uses that NIC to connect to your organization’s network and to carry manageme nt traffic for functions like communicating with other hosts in a pool, XenCenter, Workl oad Balancing, and other components. This NIC is known as the primary management interface . This is the only NIC that Setup configures with an IP address. The illustration that follows shows a regular (unconfigured) NIC and a NIC configured as a primary management interface.

After those initial setting, you still need an initial DHCP server and such in thoe LAN/VLAN to serve your VM.
