A static IP address is a permanent IP address that remains unchanged when a VM is stopped.
Using static IP addresses
Public static IP addresses are charged at an individual rate. For more information, see Public IP addresses in the Virtual Private Cloud documentation.
To make a public IP address assigned to a VM network interface static:
Management console
- In the management console, select the folder this VM belongs to.
- Go to Compute Cloud.
- Select the VM.
- Get the VM public IP address. You can find it in the Public IPv4 address field of the relevant interface section under Network on the VM page.
- Make the public IP address static. For more information, see Converting a dynamic public IP address to static in the Virtual Private Cloud documentation.
