Network Interfaces

caution

Draft — needs screenshots. This section hasn't been through the docs-capture pipeline yet, so there are no screenshots. Steps are grounded in the current product code (routes and page components), not a live capture — verify against the running product once this section is captured.

An instance's Interfaces tab lists its attached network interfaces — interface name, network, IP, MAC address, and a live bandwidth chart — with per-row actions to Edit or Detach an interface (each disabled when not valid for the interface's current network/instance state).

Attach a network interface

From the instance's action menu, Attach new interface is available while the instance is stopped or shut off. It opens a form listing the networks available to the instance's resource group that aren't already attached; pick one and Attach.

Edit a network interface

From the Interfaces tab, Edit opens a form to pick a new IP from the network's currently free IPs, then Update.

Detach a network interface

From the Interfaces tab, Detach removes the interface after a confirmation dialog — an inline action with no dedicated page.
