## Edit network features option for existing volumes
79
+
80
+
You can edit the network features option of existing volumes from *Basic* to *Standard* network features. The change you make applies to all volumes in the same *network sibling set* (or *siblings*). Siblings are determined by their network IP address relationship. They share the same NIC for mounting the volume to the client or connecting to the SMB share of the volume. At the creation of a volume, its siblings are determined by a placement algorithm that aims for reusing the IP address where possible.
81
+
82
+
You can also revert the option from *Standard* back to *Basic* network features, but considerations apply and require careful planning. For example, you might need to change configurations for Network Security Groups (NSGs), user-defined routes (UDRs), and IP limits if you revert. See [Guidelines for Azure NetApp Files network planning](azure-netapp-files-network-topologies.md#constraints) for constraints and supported network topologies about Standard and Basic network features.

Azure NetApp Files volumes have been supported with Standard network features since [October 2021](#october-2021), but only for newly created volumes. This new *edit volumes* capability lets you change *existing* volumes that were configured with Basic network features to use Standard network features. This capability provides an enhanced, more standard, Azure Virtual Network (VNet) experience through various security and connectivity features that are available on Azure VNets to Azure services. When you edit existing volumes to use Standard network features, you can start taking advantage of networking capabilities, such as (but not limited to):

* Increased number of client IPs in a virtual network (including immediately peered VNets) accessing Azure NetApp Files volumes - the [same as Azure VMs](azure-netapp-files-resource-limits.md#resource-limits)

* Enhanced network security with support for [network security groups](../virtual-network/network-security-groups-overview.md) on Azure NetApp Files delegated subnets
29
+
* Enhanced network control with support for [user-defined routes](../virtual-network/virtual-networks-udr-overview.md#user-defined) to and from Azure NetApp Files delegated subnets
