+
+You can connect a virtual machine (VM) to the primary user-defined network (UDN) by using the {product-title} web console. VMs that are created in a namespace where the primary UDN is configured are automatically attached to the UDN with the Layer 2 bridge network binding plugin.
+
+To attach a VM to the primary UDN by using the Plug a Simple Socket Transport (passt) binding, enable the plugin and configure the VM network interface in the web console.

+. Follow these steps to enable the passt network binding plugin Technology Preview feature:
+
+.. From the *Virtualization* perspective, click *Overview*.
+
+.. On the *Virtualization* page, click the *Settings* tab.
+
+.. Click *Preview features* and set *Enable Passt binding for primary user-defined networks* to on.
+
+. From the *Virtualization* perspective, click *VirtualMachines*.
+
+. Select a VM to open the *VirtualMachine details* page.
+
+. Click the *Configuration* tab.
+
+. Click *Network*.
+
+. Click the Options menu {kebab} on the *Network interfaces* page and select *Edit*.
+
+. In the *Edit network interface* dialog, select the default pod network attachment from the *Network* list.
+
+. Expand *Advanced* and then select the *Passt* binding.
+
+. Click *Save*.
+
+. If your VM is running, restart it for the changes to take effect.

+== Attaching a virtual machine to the primary user-defined network
+
+You can connect a virtual machine (VM) to the primary user-defined network (UDN) by requesting the pod network attachment and configuring the interface binding.
+
+{VirtProductName} supports the following network binding plugins to connect the network interface to the VM:
+
+Layer 2 bridge:: The Layer 2 bridge binding creates a direct Layer 2 connection between the VM's virtual interface and the virtual switch of the UDN.
+
+Passt:: The Plug a Simple Socket Transport (passt) binding provides a user-space networking solution that integrates seamlessly with the pod network, providing better integration with the {product-title} networking ecosystem.
++
+Passt binding has the following benefits:
+
+* You can define readiness and liveness HTTP probes to configure VM health checks.
+* You can use Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security to monitor TCP traffic within the cluster with detailed insights.
