Required permissions
The following permissions are required to view network profiles:
This section describes how to list network profiles by using the Google Cloud CLI
and the API. There is a unique instance of a given network profile for each
location in which it is available.
If you are using the Google Cloud console, you can view the list of network
profiles by location as part of the network profile configuration when you
create a VPC network. For more information, see
Create a VPC network for RDMA NICs.

Replace PROJECT_ID with your project ID.
View the details of a network profile
This section describes how to view the details of a network profile by using the
Google Cloud CLI or the API.
If you are using the Google Cloud console, you can view the details of a network
profile as part of the network profile configuration when you create a VPC network,
or when viewing an existing network
that has a network profile configured.
