During the initial boot, the machines require an IP address configuration that is set either through a DHCP server or statically by providing the required boot options. After a network connection is established, the machines download their Ignition config files from an HTTP or HTTPS server. The Ignition config files are then used to set the exact state of each machine. The Machine Config Operator completes more changes to the machines, such as the application of new certificates or keys, after installation.

Use a DHCP server for the long-term management of the machines for your cluster. Ensure that the DHCP server is configured to provide persistent IP addresses, DNS server information, and hostnames to the cluster machines. As a cluster administrator, ensure that you reserve the following IP addresses components that interact with the DHCP server:
91+
92+
* Two unique virtual IP (VIP) addresses. One VIP address for the API endpoint and one VIP address for the wildcard ingress endpoint.
93+
* One IP address for the provisioner node.
94+
* An IP address for each control plane node.
95+
* An IP address for each compute node.
96+
If you have multiple network interfaces that interact with a bonded interface, reserve the same IP addresses for these multiple network interfaces so to ensure better load balancing, fault tolerance, and bandwidth capabilites for your cluster network infrastructure.

* If a DHCP service is not available for your user-provisioned infrastructure, you can instead provide the IP networking configuration and the address of the DNS server to the nodes at {op-system} install time. These can be passed as boot arguments if you are installing from an ISO image. See the _Installing {op-system} and starting the {product-title} bootstrap process_ section for more information about static IP provisioning and advanced networking options.

You can create multiple interfaces in the same node network configuration policy. These interfaces can reference each other, allowing you to build and deploy a network configuration by using a single policy manifest.

If multiple interfaces use the same default configuration, a single Network Manager connection profile activates on multiple interfaces simultaneously and this causes connections to have the same universally unique identifier (UUID). To avoid this issue, ensure that each interface has a specific configuration that is different to the default configuration.

The following example YAML file creates a bond that is named `bond10` across two NICs and VLAN that is named `bond10.103` that connects to the bond.
