Assign Static IPs
INFO
To learn when to assign a static IP, see Subnet Addressing.
A Machine on an IPAM Subnet gets its address from Foundry in a random fashion. Assign a static IP when something outside expects the Machine at a fixed address.
Prerequisites
- The Machine's Network Profiles use at least one Subnet with IPAM addressing.
Assign a static IP
- Navigate to Machines → Your Machine → Actions → Edit Machine. On a Machine that does not exist yet, pre-register it instead and fill in the same fields.
- Under IP Addresses, enable Assign Static IPs. One row appears per IP Pool the Machine uses, labelled with the Pool and its CIDR.
- Enter an address for the Pools you want a static IP in. Leave a row empty to let Foundry keep picking for that Pool.
- Click Preview, then Roll out.
The Machine reboots onto the static IP. If you assign the address it already has, it won't reboot.
Make an IP dynamic again
Switch Assign Static IPs off to hand the address back to Foundry. The Machine will keep the IP for the time being.
