Issue description
You need to disable DDoS protection on an existing IP.
Solution
DDoS-protected IPs are issued from a separate IP pool.
You cannot disable or enable DDoS protection on an external IP already linked to a VM.
You can unlink the existing IP from your VM and link a new IP, without DDoS protection.
For this, in the management console, follow the steps:
- Go to the VM properties page in the management console web interface.
- On the overview tab, click the ellipsis icon ("...") in the upper-right part of the Network section.
- Select "Disassociate public IP address".
- When the public IP is removed, repeat the action and select "Add public IP address".
- Do not select "DDoS protection" in the pop-up window.
Alert
Note that this action will change the VM's public IP, and it will no longer be available at this IP.
