## Create a network

Go to **Networks → Create** and choose an IP range, for example `10.20.0.0/24`. Attach servers from the same region.

## Configure the interface

Cloud images configure the interface automatically. On dedicated servers add it with Netplan:

```yaml
network:
  version: 2
  ethernets:
    ens19:
      addresses: [10.20.0.11/24]
```

## Limits

- Up to 1,024 servers per network
- Traffic inside private networks is free and unmetered
- Cross-region links are available on request
