Adding a Floating IP

To create a new Floating IP on your Cloud Console, please open your project and do the following:

1. Go to Floating IPs on the left menu bar

   

2. Select ADD FLOATING IP

   

3. Create your Floating IP

   

   • Choose a location. Routing will be optimized for that location.

   • Choose a protocol. You can choose between IPv4 and IPv6.

   • Enter a name for your Floating IP in the lower text box. Please note that it is not possible to use names more than once per project.

4. Now that your Floating IP has been created, you can assign it to a server

   

   Hover over Unassigned and click on the arrow to choose a server.

5. Configure Floating IP

   A window will pop up right after the server has been assigned to your Floating IP. You will be shown a command that you can use to configure your Floating IP temporarily.

   

You can unassign and reassign your Floating IP at any time.

Please note: Floating IPs can only be assigned to one server at a time. In order to assign a new server to the Floating IP, you have to unassign the old server first.
