Network interfaces

Network interfaces are Linux interfaces for establishing a connection with external physical devices. You must assign an IP address to each network interface via DHCP or statically. The following types of network interfaces can be created:

• With automatic assignment of an IP address via DHCP
• With a static IPv4 address
• With a static IPv6 address
• For connecting to a wireless network

The settings that you can specify when creating a network interface depend on the selected type.
