Converting a dynamic public IP address to static

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. 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 parameter for the REST API or folder_id for the gRPC API.

  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.
