+Overview
+=========================
+
+The interfaces overview contains an extended version of `ifconfig <https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ifconfig>`__
+that's available on most systems.
+
+You can use this page to check the current assigned addresses, interface status, link status and other details.
+
+When an interface is configured using DHCP, you can also reload/release an address here.
