# Examples

This section contains examples of how to create data files for shared networks. All examples use comma as the separator. You can use other supported separators, such as semicolon, space, or tab.

# Adding an IPv4 Shared Network

This example shows how to import a new shared Network in the Default DHCP view.

`header-SharedNetwork,name*,networks*,network_view,comment,OPTION-2 SharedNetwork,Sharednetwork01,"10.0.0.0/24,20.0.0.0/24",Default,This is a comment.,128`

# Overwriting IPv4 Shared Network Data

This example shows how to overwrite a shared network with additional networks.

`header-SharedNetwork,name*,networks* SharedNetwork,Sharednetwork01,"10.0.0.0/24,20.0.0.0/24,30.0.0.0/24"`

# Merging IPv4 Shared Network Data

This example shows how to merge the extensible attribute Site and a new admin group DHCP_admins with RW permission to an IPv4 shared network.

`header-SharedNetwork,name*,networks*,EA-Site,ADMGRP-DHCP_admins SharedNetwork,Sharednetwork01,"10.0.0.0/24,20.0.0.0/24",USA,RW`
