Reserved public IP

Keep a public IPv4 reserved in the project after VM or gateway delete.

Before you begin

• A public IPv4 assigned to a VM or Cloud Gateway, or already reserved in the project.

Steps

1. Check the address in Network → Public IPs.
2. When deleting a VM or gateway, turn off Release public IP address to keep the IP reserved in the project.
3. When creating another VM or gateway, select the reserved IP instead of Auto.
4. To change the public IP on the same VM: in Resize VM, turn WAN (net0) off, save, then turn WAN on again and choose Auto or another reserved address.

Watch out

• While WAN is on, you cannot swap to another address directly — turn the public interface off first.
• Changing the WAN IP does not require a VM reboot.
