This topic describes how to change the network policy of a virtual machine (VM) or a VM-based cluster with Replicated Compatibility Matrix, and how to collect and analyze network events to understand your application's behavior in air-gapped environments.

By default, all VMs and clusters are created with an `open` network policy. You can change the network policy to `airgap` to simulate an air-gapped environment with no outbound internet access. This `airgap` network policy is particularly useful for previewing how your application will perform in air-gapped end customer environments.

Compatibility Matrix also supports collecting network reports. Viewing a report of network events can help you understand your application's behavior in air-gapped environments, with details on outbound network requests.

Network policy enforcement is separate from network reporting. For greater flexibility in testing, the report captures all network activity whether the policy is set to `open` or `airgap`.

To simulate an air-gapped environment that prevents outbound network requests, you can change the policy for a network from `open` to `airgap`. Network policies are configured at the network level and apply to all VMs and clusters within the network.

Compatibility Matrix network reporting helps you understand your application's network activity. Even when the network policy is set to `airgap` and network egress is blocked, all connection attempts and DNS queries are still captured in the report. This helps you identify unexpected network calls before deploying to an air-gapped environment.
