# Instance Provisioning

## About this task

This procedure describes specifying networks to be consumed during instance provisioning.

Configure network interfaces by mapping either physical NICs or bonded interfaces to the server. For bonds, include two physical NICs to create a single logical interface with redundancy and higher bandwidth. For physical interfaces, each represents a single port based on its actual order. Assign virtual networks so that the primary network is untagged and additional networks are tagged VLANs. Only create virtual interfaces for networks that require an IP address on the server.
