 ## Collect data network values
 
 You can configure up to ten data networks per site. During site creation, you'll be able to choose whether to attach an existing data network or create a new one.
 
 For each data network that you want to configure, collect all the values in the following table. These values define the packet core instance's connection to the data network over the user plane interface, so you need to collect them whether you're creating the data network or using an existing one.

+   | The virtual network name on port 6 (or port 5 if you plan to have more than six data networks) on your Azure Stack Edge Pro GPU device corresponding to the user plane interface on the data network. For 5G, this interface is the N6 interface; for 4G, it's the SGi interface. | **ASE N6 virtual subnet** (for 5G) or **ASE SGi virtual subnet** (for 4G). |

You won't need this address if you don't want to support dynamic IP address allocation for this site. You identified this in [Allocate user equipment (UE) IP address pools](complete-private-mobile-network-prerequisites.md?pivots=ase-pro-gpu#allocate-user-equipment-ue-ip-address-pools).
