# Network

In this section, you can configure the network settings of your nomos system Controller. These settings are crucial to ensure that your controller communicates correctly with your network, devices, and the internet.

1. **Hostname**
   * **Hostname:** The name under which the controller is visible on the network.
2. **DHCP**
   * If **DHCP** is enabled, the controller will automatically be assigned an IP address by the router.
   * If **DHCP** is disabled, you can manually configure the network details.
3. **Manual IP Settings**
   * **IP Address:** The static IP address you want to assign to the controller.
   * **Sbnet Mask:** Usually 255.255.255.0, this defines the network segment in which the controller is located.
   * **Router:** The IP address of the router or gateway.
   * **MAC Address:** The unique hardware address of the controller.
4. **DNS Servers**
   * **DNS Server 1 & 2**: These fields specify which DNS servers the controller should use. By default, the Cloudflare DNS server (1.1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1) is often used, but you can configure other DNS servers as well.
5. **Internet Connection**
   * A green symbol means that the controller is successfully connected to the internet.
6. **Save and Restart**

   * Click on **Save and Restart** to apply the changes. The controller will restart and the new network settings will be saved.
