Moving a public IP address to a different folder

  • Examples
    • Address in the current folder
    • Address in a different folder

You can move public IP addresses between folders within a single cloud.

Management console
CLI
API
  1. In the management console, select the folder containing your address.
  2. Navigate to Virtual Private Cloud.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select  Public IP addresses.
  4. Click in the row of the address to move and select Move.
  5. In the window that opens, select the destination folder.
  6. Click Move.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

  1. View the description of the CLI command for moving an address:

    yc vpc address move --help
    
  2. Get the name or ID of the address to move:

    yc vpc address list
    

    Result:

    +----------------------+------+---------------+----------+-------+
    |          ID          | NAME |    ADDRESS    | RESERVED | USED  |
    +----------------------+------+---------------+----------+-------+
    | e2l50m7qo8gp******** |      | 84.252.137.20 | true     | false |
    | e9b0qnmuh2cb******** |      | 51.250.65.244 | true     | false |
    | e9br252il3ce******** |      | 51.250.68.195 | false    | true  |
    +----------------------+------+---------------+----------+-------+
    
  3. Get a list of available folders:

    yc resource-manager folder list
    

    Result:

    +----------------------+------------------------+--------+--------+
    |          ID          |          NAME          | LABELS | STATUS |
    +----------------------+------------------------+--------+--------+
    | b1cs8ie21pk1******** | default                |        | ACTIVE |
    | b1chgf288nvg******** | my-folder-1            |        | ACTIVE |
    | b1cu6g9ielh6******** | my-folder-2            |        | ACTIVE |
    +----------------------+------------------------+--------+--------+
    
  4. Move the address by specifying the name or ID of the address and destination folder:

    yc vpc address move <address_name_or_ID> \
      --destination-folder-name <destination_folder_name> \
      --destination-folder-id <destination_folder_ID>
    

    Use either --destination-folder-name or --destination-folder-id.

    If the address is not in the current folder (default folder), specify the source folder using --folder-name or --folder-id.

    Result:

     id: e9br252il3ce********
     folder_id: b1chgf288nvg********
     created_at: "2022-10-10T05:38:43Z"
     external_ipv4_address:
       address: 51.250.68.195
       zone_id: ru-central1-a
       requirements: {}
     used: true
     type: EXTERNAL
     ip_version: IPV4
    

    For more information about the yc vpc address move command, see the CLI reference.

To move a public IP address to a different folder, use the move REST API method for the Address resource or the AddressService/Move gRPC API call, and provide the following in the request:

  • ID of the address you need to move in the addressId parameter.

    To get the address ID, use the list REST API method for the Address resource or the AddressService/List gRPC API call and provide the folder ID in the folderId parameter for the REST API or folder_id for the gRPC API.

  • ID of the folder the address will be moved to in the destinationFolderId parameter.

    To learn how to find out the folder ID, see Getting the folder ID.

ExamplesExamples
