The network object defines a network as a collection of address spaces and dynamically
assigned IP addresses. It also determines, by using groups, what users can add nodes
in address spaces
A user that has both network object access and the same group access as a network can
create/modify/delete network objects. A user in the same group as an address space and with
node rights can add a node to that address space.
- Network cannot be deleted if nodes exist in its address spaces
- Network cannot be split if the resulting network and broadcast addresses are already assigned
-
The following fields are inherited when a network is used as a template:
- Groups
- DHCP Service
- DHCP Options
Networks can be found by searching on the following:
- Network name
- Dynamic dhcp IP address in the network
- Dynamic dhcp address name in the network
- Network Name
