# Unmanaged Networks

The unmanaged Network mode is used when the network infrastructure is not managed by HPE Morpheus.

In this case, there is a minimal configuration that is created as default when the cloud gets created with the network mode set to `Unmanaged network`. This minimal configuration includes a default Resource Pool that can be used to associate compute servers with, and a default unmanaged network that is available during instance provisioning to attach with compute servers.

The default unmanaged network is configured as an untagged network with DHCP as the IP allocation method. This allows a compute instance provisioned to come up with network connectivity without any specific network configuration required from the user.

The unmanaged network assumes:

- The network infrastructure to be configured correctly for the untagged network to work correctly.
- A DHCP server stood up in the infrastructure for that network.

Users can create other networks (VLANs) if required, in addition to the default unmanaged network, and use them in their BM instance.

NOTE

- If the ALLOW IP OVERRIDE checkbox is selected (allows selection of DHCP or static IP or IP Pool), ensure that the CIDR and GATEWAY fields are configured correctly.
- At present, only one physical interface is supported for the unmanaged network mode.

The network consumption by an instance is the same as for managed networks.
