Networking

Networks are the virtual and physical network segments that VM instances attach to. Each has a DHCP type (Internal, Static, or External), an optional VLAN tag, one or more physical interfaces it's bonded to, and — for non-External networks — an IP configuration: address range, gateway, DNS IPs, and network prefix (CIDR). Networks are provisioned as part of cluster or node configuration, not created ad hoc — there's no standalone "Create Network" flow in the Cluster Panel; the UI's network-creation route simply redirects back to the network list.

External Subnets are separate from Networks — they're externally-routed CIDR ranges (with an associated interface) that the platform can allocate addresses from. Unlike Networks, External Subnets do have a standalone create flow.

For specific tasks, see Edit Network and Create External Subnet under this section.

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.

Networks

Go to Networks to see the network list: a total count, a "Show System Networks" toggle (system/hidden networks are excluded by default), and a searchable table with each network's name, type indicator, billable status, DHCP type, IP address start/end, DNS IPs, gateway, DHCP server IP, VLAN, and network prefix (CIDR). Each row has an actions menu with Edit and Destroy — both are disabled where they don't apply (for example, a reserved network can't be edited, and a management, physical, or in-use network can't be destroyed). Destroy is also available in bulk for multiple selected networks.

Click a network's name to open its detail page, which shows:

• Network Characteristics — DHCP type, routable/NAT forwarding status, IP address start/end, gateway IP, DNS IPs, network prefix, DHCP server IP, MAC address, and VLAN tag (where applicable).
• Physical Interfaces — the physical ports the network is bonded to.
• Network Virtual Interfaces — a table of the network's VIFs (IP, MAC, and the instance attached to each, if any).
• Bandwidth Usage — a live chart of network throughput.

A Manage menu on the detail page offers the same Edit and Destroy actions as the index, under the same eligibility rules.

External Subnets

Go to External Subnets to see a total count and a searchable table of subnets (UUID, interface, and CIDR), each with a Destroy action. A Create button opens the create-subnet page.
