11.4. Using the Networks Tab
The Networks resource tab provides a central location for users to perform network-related operations and search for networks based on each network's property or association with other resources.
All networks in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment display in the results list of the Networks tab. The , and buttons allow you to create, change the properties of, and delete logical networks within data centers.
Click on each network name and use the Clusters, Hosts, Virtual Machines, Templates, and Permissions tabs in the details pane to perform functions including:
- Attaching or detaching the networks to clusters and hosts
- Removing network interfaces from virtual machines and templates
- Adding and removing permissions for users to access and manage networks
These functions are also accessible through each individual resource tab.

Important
External provider discovery and importing are Technology Preview features. Technology Preview features are not fully supported under Red Hat Subscription Service Level Agreements (SLAs), may not be functionally complete, and are not intended for production use. However, these features provide early access to upcoming product innovations, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.
