# Network | NIC | Update

In this section, you'll learn how to modify the configuration settings of a NIC.

## Global Networking NIC Settings

Below are the **Global Settings** to adjust the configuration of a NIC.

**Name**. The system name of the physical interface. This field is not editable.
  **IP Address**. Network-layer IP address of the NIC. Supports IPv4 and IPv6. This field is mandatory, and if DHCP is disabled, the **Netmask/CIDR** field must also be configured.
  **Netmask/CIDR**. Subnet mask of the NIC. Supports Network mask format or **CIDR** (0 to 32 bits) for IPv4, or **CIDR** format (0 to 128 bits) for IPv6. This field is mandatory, and if DHCP is disabled, the **IP Address** field must also be set.
  **Gateway**. Default gateway in **IPv4/IPv6** format used by the NIC.
  **MAC**. Link-layer MAC address assigned to the NIC by its vendor. This field is not editable.
  **Alias**. Interface alias for easy access when configuring services.
  **DHCP**. Enable or disable the **Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol** (DHCP) for the NIC. If enabled, static IP configuration is not allowed, requiring a reachable DHCP server.

Both IPv4 and IPv6 stacks are supported, with the **Netmask** and **Gateway** configured within the same stack as the IP. After making all necessary changes, click the **Apply** button to apply the new settings.
