About networks
This section describes how to use SiteConfig to define and manage the networks in a system.
When you add a network to a site in the tree view, you are defining a network to which one or more
devices within that site can connect. SiteConfig can then configure networking properties on devices
that you add to the site. For example, SiteConfig can set IP addresses on a device's network interface
based on an IP you select from a range of IPs belonging to a network that you have defined.
You can also choose to define networks in SiteConfig that exist at a given site but are not managed
by SiteConfig, such as DNS\DHCP managed networks. Having these networks defined in SiteConfig
gives you the ability to describe network connectivity between devices without actually managing
the network itself
About managed and unmanaged networks
The term "managed network" in SiteConfig refers to a network for which SiteConfig administers
IP address assignments and other networking properties on devices. When you create a managed
network, you input details such as the range of static IP addresses for the network, gateway, any
DNS servers used by the network.
When you create a managed network, you can then select a device in SiteConfig and set the network's
properties in the interfaces view for the device. When you use SiteConfig to discover the device,
SiteConfig can then configure the network settings on the physical device.
