# metalcloud-cli server-instance-group network connect

Connect a server instance group to a network

## Synopsis

Connect a server instance group to a network.

This command creates a new network connection between a server instance group and a network,
configuring the access mode, VLAN tagging, and optionally redundancy settings.

Arguments:
  server_instance_group_id  The numeric ID of the server instance group to connect
  network_id               The ID of the network to connect to
  access_mode              Network access mode (e.g., "trunk", "access")
  tagged                   Whether VLAN tagging is enabled (true/false)
  redundancy               (Optional) Redundancy configuration (e.g., "active-backup", "load-balancing")

Examples:
  ## Connect server instance group to network with trunk access
  metalcloud-cli server-instance-group network connect 1234 567 trunk true

  ## Connect with access mode and no tagging
  metalcloud-cli server-instance-group network connect 1234 567 access false

  ## Connect with redundancy configuration
  metalcloud-cli server-instance-group network connect 1234 567 trunk true active-backup

  ## Using alias
  metalcloud-cli ig net add 1234 567 trunk true
