ACTIONS. The available actions for every NIC in the table are the following:

• Edit. Change the NIC configuration like IP address, netmask and gateway.
• Bring up. Set the interface up and configured to accept traffic.
• Bring down. Set the interface down and stop accepting traffic.
• Unset. Remove the NIC configuration.
• Cluster. No actions are allowed as this NIC is used in the cluster service for synchronization and heartbeat processes. In order to modify this interface is required to disable the cluster service.
• Lock. No actions are allowed as this NIC is part of a bonding or link aggregation of more than one NIC. In order to modify this interface is required to disable the bonding interface.

The actions will be executed in batches in all the selected NICs through the multiple selection option.
