| To edit the Network interface settings, choose from the '''EDIT '''from the drop-down menu'''OPTIONS.'''
| | In the table you can view network interface names, IP addresses, DHCP information, interface vendor (or driver used in virtualized environment), negotiated speed, cable status and interface status. |

| If you set a new IP address, you will lose your connection with the server during activation and you will have to log in again. In the URL entry line of your browser, please enter the new IP address. If you do not get access, please use the console to set a new IP address. In order to access servers in another subnet, you need to enter the address of the router as the gateway.

Here you can view information on all available network interfaces (including bonds).
In the table you can view network interface names, IP addresses, DHCP information, interface vendor (or driver used in virtualized environment), negotiated speed, cable status and interface status.
You can also edit the interface/bond settings, deactivate single interface or bond or delete bonding using the Options drop down menu.
