Network Management
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proxmox Backup Server provides an interface for network configuration, through the
``network`` subcommand. This allows you to carry out some basic network
management tasks such as adding, configuring and removing network interfaces.
Proxmox Backup Server provides both a web interface and a command line tool for
network configuration. You can find the configuration options in the web
interface under the **Network Interfaces** section of the **Configuration** menu
tree item. The command line tool is accessed via the ``network`` subcommand.

such as adding, configuring, and removing network interfaces.
.. note:: Any changes made to the network configuration are not
applied, until you click on **Apply Configuration** or enter the ``network
reload`` command. This allows you to make many changes at once. It also allows
