Networks
The Networks module documents client network infrastructure — subnets, gateways, VLANs, DHCP scopes, and DNS — and shows which asset interfaces are connected to each network.
Overview
The Networks module lets you:
- Document each client's networks with a name, subnet (CIDR), and gateway
- Record the VLAN ID for a network
- Capture DHCP settings (enabled flag plus an optional range)
- Store one or more DNS server addresses
- Associate a network with a client and, optionally, a specific location
- See the asset interfaces (and their parent assets) connected to a network
Navigate to Assets → Networks
Go to Assets → Networks in the left sidebar to open the networks list.
Networks List
The list shows the total network count and supports keyword search via the Search networks... box (matches the network name, subnet, and description). Click any row to open the network detail page.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Network | Network name, with a DHCP badge when DHCP is enabled |
| Client | Owning client (links to the client record) |
| Location | Associated location, or - if none |
| Subnet | CIDR notation (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24), or - if not set |
| VLAN | A VLAN <id> badge when a VLAN ID is set, otherwise - |
| Devices | Count of connected asset interfaces |
Results are paginated (25 per page). Use Previous / Next to move between pages.
Creating a Network
- Click Add Network.
- Under Basic Information, fill in:
- Client (required) — the owning client.
- Location (optional) — a site belonging to the selected client. Locations load after you pick a client.
- Network Name (required) — e.g.
Main Office LAN. - Description (optional) — free-text notes.
- Under Network Configuration, set the addressing details (all optional):
- Subnet — CIDR notation, e.g.
192.168.1.0/24. - Gateway — the default gateway IP, e.g.
192.168.1.1. - VLAN ID — an integer from 1 to 4094.
- DNS Servers — a comma-separated list of DNS server IPs, e.g.
8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4.
- Subnet — CIDR notation, e.g.
- Under DHCP Configuration, toggle DHCP Enabled. When enabled, you can also set:
- DHCP Range Start — e.g.
192.168.1.100. - DHCP Range End — e.g.
192.168.1.200.
- DHCP Range Start — e.g.
- Click Create Network.
Network Fields
These are the fields stored for each network.
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | Required |
| Description | Text | Optional |
| Subnet | Text (CIDR) | Optional, e.g. 192.168.1.0/24 |
| Gateway | Text (IP) | Optional |
| VLAN | Integer | Optional, 1–4094 |
| DHCP Enabled | Boolean | Defaults to off |
| DHCP Range Start | Text (IP) | Optional, used when DHCP is enabled |
| DHCP Range End | Text (IP) | Optional, used when DHCP is enabled |
| DNS Servers | List of IPs | Optional, comma-separated on entry |
| Client | Reference | Required |
| Location | Reference | Optional |
Network Detail Page
Opening a network shows its full configuration and connected devices.
Network Configuration
Displays the Subnet, Gateway, VLAN, and DNS Servers. Any field left blank shows Not configured.
DHCP Configuration
If DHCP is enabled, shows an Enabled status and the IP range (start–end) when both ends are set. Otherwise it notes that DHCP is not enabled for the network.
Connected Devices
Lists the asset interfaces assigned to this network. Each row shows:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Interface | Interface name (e.g. eth0, Wi-Fi, WAN), with a type badge when set |
| Asset | The parent asset (links to the asset record), or - |
| IP Address | The interface IP, or - |
| MAC Address | The interface MAC, or - |
Connected devices are not added from the network page. They appear here when an asset's network interface is assigned to this network, which you do on the asset record. See Assets for managing assets and their interfaces.
Details and Quick Actions
The sidebar shows the Client, Location, Created, and Last Updated values. Quick Actions provide shortcuts to Edit Network and View Assets (the assets list filtered to this network).
Editing and Deleting
- Click Edit (on the detail page or under Quick Actions) to change any network field.
- Click Delete to remove the network. Deletion is blocked while the network has connected devices — remove or reassign those interfaces first. The confirmation dialog warns you when devices are still attached.
Tips
- Use CIDR for the subnet. The subnet field expects CIDR notation such as
192.168.1.0/24. - VLAN range. Valid VLAN IDs are 1–4094.
- Set a location when a client has multiple sites so networks stay easy to identify.
- Document DNS and DHCP so technicians have the network basics on hand during troubleshooting.
