Introduction
Networks, in general, are the core of connectivity between computers/devices across the internet using IP addresses provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). In ZEDEDA Cloud, the network is how the EVE-OS configuration gets the IP Address to the edge node. It could be through the DHCP network, static network, proxy configuration, etc.
A network handles routing for edge node hardware to pass traffic to and from ZEDEDA Cloud for management purposes, for example. When you onboard an edge node, you can assign a network object to each of your node’s ethernet and wi-fi ports. You can reconfigure a node's ports after you create the node.
See Network Instance Overview instead if you are interested in connectivity and routing for your edge applications.
