Dashboard says 2 interfaces

My dashboard says I have 2 interfaces. 192. & 172. Is this normal or do I need to uninstall & reinstall? Not sure & always meant to ask.
Thanks

This is normal
I believe that the 172.x.x.x network is used for Bonjour
Bonjour basically allows zero network configuration between Bonjour aware systems. It was developed by Apple but is found in/on many devices. It is GOOD in my opinion.

More likely the 172 network is related to Docker or some other type of container or virtual network interface.

Thanks I just was not sure.

In any case, having multiple interfaces is normal, and nothing to be concerned about. Channels is simply listing the configured/discovered network interfaces that your OS/computer is saying it has.

Hyper V in my case
So not Bonjour - Windows 10 Hyper V - Other OS could be another type of virtual network
