Introduction
Networks, in general, are the core of connectivity between computer devices across the internet using blocks of IP addresses that are provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). In ZEDEDA Cloud, EVE-OS assigns an IP address to each edge node over the network. This is often done using DHCP, but it could also be done over the static network, proxy configuration, and so on.
A network handles routing for edge node hardware to pass traffic to and from ZEDEDA Cloud for management purposes. 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.
