Hello

when you build new host, there are several tabs for the form. Click Interfaces 
form, then green "+ Add Interface" button. A modal window will appear where 
you specify attributes I explained in last email. Once you're done with 
Interfaces tab, let the host provision and verify that at the end (after final 
reboot) the interfaces are configured according to what you defined in the form.

You can find some information in our manual too, see 
https://www.theforeman.org/manuals/1.11/index.html#4.4.7Networking

Hope this helps
