To work with networks and network aliases, you use the Networks page in the HCP System Management Console.
The Networks page has four sections:
•Network View — Lets you view, create, modify, and delete networks and network aliases, and monitor the health of individual networks.
•Node View — Lets you view, add, modify, and delete the IP addresses assigned to each node for each network.

Note: Both the Network View panel and the Node View panel let you view and modify node IP addresses. However, the Network View panel shows the node IP addresses defined for each network, while the Node View panel shows the IP addresses assigned to each node for all networks in which it participates. The Node View panel is particularly useful for assigning IP addresses to nodes that are added to the HCP system after you’ve defined multiple networks. |
•All Zone Definitions — Lets you view the DNS zone definitions that HCP uses for all network domains that are currently defined on the HCP system.

Note: You cannot filter the list of DNS zone definitions that are displayed on the All Zone Definitions panel. However, you can use the Network View panel to display all properties of any specific network, including the zone definition information for that network. For information on displaying zone definition information for a specific network or for all networks defined on the system, see Viewing the DNS zone definition for a network domain. |
•Advanced Settings — Lets you enable IP address configurations for the nodes in your networks and enable virtual network management.
1.In the top-level menu, mouse over Configuration to display a secondary menu.
2.In the secondary menu, click on Networks.
The System Management Console opens the Networks►Network View page.

Roles: To view the Networks page, you need the monitor, administrator or service role. To create, modify, and delete user-defined networks and network aliases, you need the administrator role. To modify the [hcp_system] or [hcp_backend] network, you need the service role. |
When you use the Configuration menu to access the Networks page, the Networks►Network View is displayed by default. You can then use the tabs on the left side of the page to navigate between sections.
