** Google Cloud Foundation Setup: Understanding Networking Information Configuration

The Google Cloud Foundation setup is a crucial layer in establishing a cloud environment, serving as the core infrastructure for all applications and workloads. During this setup process, networking plays a critical role in configuring network architecture, shared VPCs, on-prem connections, firewall rules, and more.

To help users navigate this process, various commands are available through the Google Cloud console or Terraform to deploy environments. For those not creating networks from scratch due to prior setup by another person or lack of implementation documentation, a list of helpful commands can be used:

* `gcloud compute networks list`: Lists all VPC networks within a specific project.
* `gcloud compute networks subnets list`: Displays all subnets belonging to a particular VPC network.
* `gcloud compute firewall-rules list`: Provides a table format listing all firewall rules in the project.

Additionally, commands for listing VPN tunnels, describing VPN gateways and Cloud Routers offer detailed information on their configuration, status, and operational state. These tools are particularly useful for troubleshooting, monitoring, or understanding network security configurations.
