As a cluster administrator, you can enable multi-network policy support on your cluster.

.Prerequisites

* Install the {oc-first}.
* Log in to the cluster with a user with `cluster-admin` privileges.

.Procedure

+
[source,yaml]
----
apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
kind: Network
metadata:
  name: cluster
spec:
  useMultiNetworkPolicy: true
# ...
----

. Configure the cluster to enable multi-network policy. Successful output lists the name of the policy object and the `patched` status.
