Converting a dynamic public IP address to static

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

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. See the description of the CLI commands for updating the address attributes:

   yc vpc address update --help
   

2. Get a list of addresses in the default folder:

   yc vpc address list
   

   Result:

   +----------------------+------+---------------+----------+------+
   |          ID          | NAME |    ADDRESS    | RESERVED | USED |
   +----------------------+------+---------------+----------+------+
   | e2l46k8conff******** |      | 84.201.177.41 | false    | true |
   +----------------------+------+---------------+----------+------+
   

   The false value of the reserved parameter for the IP address with the e2l46k8conff******** ID shows that this address is dynamic.

3. Convert it to static by using the --reserved=true parameter and the address ID:

   yc vpc address update --reserved=true e2l46k8conff********
   

   Result:

   id: e2l46k8conff********
   folder_id: b1g7gvsi89m3********
   created_at: "2021-01-14T09:36:46Z"
   external_ipv4_address:
     address: 84.201.177.41
     zone_id: ru-central1-a
     requirements: {}
   reserved: true
   used: true
   

   Now that the reserved parameter is true, the IP address is static.

To change the type of a public IP address from dynamic to static, use the update REST API method for the Address resource or the AddressService/Update gRPC API call, and provide the following in the request:

• ID of the IP address you want to convert to static 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 request parameter.

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

• true in the reserved parameter.

• Name of the reserved parameter in the updateMask parameter.
