Another thing is if we're going to have multiple networks defined on a
node, we'll need a dropdown for that as well; i.e., select an existing
network to edit.

Regarding the vlans, I'm not experienced enough with them to come up
with a good design. I'll do some research, but if you can point me to a
site that can give a great high level explanation, I can try using that
to tweak the design.

I've dropped that static text and replaced it with a text field for
entering a description. That will get used in the dropdown list.
