IMO adding 'assign' action in the main tab might be handy in order to assign a single network in a single dialog to several clusters. However It is not clear to me how Add/Edit for a VM in a sub-tab should look like. The VM should have a list of interfaces (represented as sub collection/tree).

What will be the meaning of 'Add' in that context? Since the VM already have a vNIC attached to that network. If adding another once, it should be enabled on the record representing the VM itself which will confuse the user. Same goes for 'Edit' of a VM interface under a context of a specific network: in the current 'Edit VM Interface' you can change the network. Should the same dialog be used here as well? The 'Remove' option is the clearer action on this context. > (example of 'small details' - yes, when clicking remove for a > VM/template - it will remove all vNICs that use that network from the > VM.
