Network Configuration (**Inventory** → **Assets** → **Network Configuration**) enables administrators to define and manage the organization's network topology, such as internal and external IP address ranges, internal domain suffixes, and trusted networks.
### Notice
External IP address ranges: Requires an ASM or Cortex XSIAM Premium license.
Trusted Networks: Requires a Cloud Posture Security or Cortex XSIAM Premium license.
Network topology configuration is frequently shared between the Security and IT Infrastructure teams. Ensure proper coordination before altering IP ranges or trusted network definitions.
For more information, see [Network configurations](../../../detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/asset-management/asset-configurations/network-configuration).
The Network Configuration permission controls the ability to view, create, and edit network topologies, IP ranges, and trusted domains.
