Floating IP management

Reserve/unreserve a floating IP​

  • The default life cycle of a floating IP will be equal to the associated service (such as a virtual machine). If the associated service is deleted, the system will delete the floating IP at the same time. The floating IP that is set to be retained will not be automatically deleted by the system.
  • Click the more options icon on the right side of the list to select Reserve/Unreserve Floating IP.

Disassociate services​

  • When the associated service no longer uses the floating IP, you can choose Disassociate services to release this IP resource.

Delete​

  • Click the more options icon on the right side of the list, and then click Delete. Deleting the floating IP will automatically separate the associated services.
