Bug Description
the web UI summary page for a machine should show IP addresses assigned to interfaces rather than MAC addresses, (or at least should show both)
Looking at the network summary, It really seems to me like the table should show the IP addresses assigned rather than, or in addition to, the MAC address information.
As a user, when I refer to the summary screen and look to network information, 99.999% of the time, I'm looking for the IP addresses a machine has in use, NOT the MAC addresses. I'm looking to see that the devices have addresses, and that those addresses are in the correct network spaces, and often just looking to get an IP address so I can SSH into a node.
The summary is a perfect place to capture that data.
The screenshot below is a good example. In that one, only ONE port has an IP assigned, and I have no clue what that IP is without deep diving into the network settings. It would be better to just quickly glance at the summary to see that enp6s0 has ip address FOO, rather than just see that it's assigned to a specific fabric.

As was pointed out, I completely forgot to add the screenshot. This is the current summary page with MAAS 2.9.2 (9165-g.b5dc1fd6c)
For this machine, currently only one port has an IP address, but on some machines (and I'd presume this applies to many cloud nodes as well) there will be far more than a single port configured.
