>> 2.5 I would not bother to show all the nics attached to the VM from the same network, it's too rare. Just make sure there is no exception if this does exist. So the columns should have 'nic' as the first and there should be only one VM per line. If there are more then one nic per VM then just indicate 'multiple'

Since this is a valuable information but focused on the DC and not the
network I would add that on the general subtab instead of the main tab.
