# How to Manage Ports and Network Allocations on XGamingServer (/docs/panel-guides/network)





import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Ports are used by your game server, query systems, RCON, and plugins that need their own connections. The Network tab manages all port allocations.

View Your Allocations [#view-your-allocations]

Click **Network** in the sidebar to see all ports assigned to your server.

Each allocation shows:

| Column      | Description                                                          |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **IP**      | Server IP address (click to copy)                                    |
| **Port**    | The assigned port number                                             |
| **Notes**   | Editable label — type to describe what this port is for (auto-saves) |
| **Primary** | Green badge = the main address players use to connect                |

Set the Primary Allocation [#set-the-primary-allocation]

The primary allocation is the IP:Port shown at the top of every panel page and what players use to connect.

Click **Make Primary** on any allocation to switch it.

Add Notes [#add-notes]

Click the **Notes** field next to any allocation and type a label (e.g., "Game Port", "RCON", "Query", "Dynmap"). Notes auto-save.

Create Additional Allocations [#create-additional-allocations]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Click **Create Allocation** (top-right).
  </Step>

  <Step>
    A new port is assigned automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

> The number of allocations depends on your plan. If you've reached the limit, delete an unused one or upgrade.

Delete an Allocation [#delete-an-allocation]

Click the red **Delete** button next to the allocation. You cannot delete the primary allocation — switch the primary to a different port first.

> **Warning:** Deleting an allocation that a game or plugin is using will break its connection.
