The Logical Connection form enables you to describe the details for a logical connection.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name of this logical connection The ServiceNow AI Platform uses this name to identify it in your network inventory. |
| Max percent over subscription | Percent of subscription allowed for a logical connection with respect to the bandwidth. |
| Site A | Originating network site for this connection. Select the search icon \( Image omitted: search.png Search icon.\) and select a network site. To learn more, see <a href="../define-tni-sites/">febcfe12194eeb91c09e3996e78edd4ed1efeb0b.dita</a>. |
