# Network

To integrate the Power Platform controller into your local network, you need to change its default IP address to a static IP address on your network,
as well as modify the controller’s subnet mask and default gateway. This section provides detailed instructions on how to configure the network settings
of the controller using the Web-Based Management (WBM) interface.

To change the network settings of the Power Platform controller, follow the steps below:

### Change Network Settings

<Steps>
  <Step title="Login to the WBM">
    <Card title="Login to the WBM" icon="lock-open" href="/installation/settings/login" horizontal>
      Login to the Web-Based Management (WBM) interface of the Power Platform controller.
    </Card>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to the Configuration Tab">
    Navigate to the **Configuration** tab in the left navigation plane and select **Network**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update Network Settings">
    Update the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway to match your local network. **For example:**

    * IP address: `172.200.1.120`
    * Subnet mask: `255.255.255.0`
    * Default gateway: `172.200.1.1`
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save Page & Restart">
    Click **Save Page & Restart**. The controller will reboot with the new settings and become visible on your local network with the newly set IP address.
  </Step>
</Steps>
