Physical Interfaces

Managing the physical Network Interface Cards (NICs) is the foundation of Vapor's network configuration.

Viewing Interfaces

Navigate to Network > Interfaces to view a list of all physical hardware adapters detected by the system.

The list displays:

• Interface Name (e.g., eth0, enp3s0)
• MAC Address
• Current Operational State (UP/DOWN)
• Assigned IP Addresses (IPv4 / IPv6)

Managing Interface State

You can interact with physical interfaces directly:

• Bring UP/DOWN: Toggle the administrative state of the interface. Note that bringing an interface down will immediately sever any traffic flowing through it.
• Edit IP Address: Assign a static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway directly to the physical interface.

IMPORTANT

If a physical interface is added as a port to a Bridge or an OVS switch, it should typically not have an IP address assigned directly to it. Instead, assign the IP address to the Bridge interface itself.
