Floating IPs
Note
The openstack CLI will need to be setup to interact with the FlexiHPC system. Please read Setting up your CLI environment to interact with FlexiHPC to get started.
Use the openstack commands to manage floating IP addresses.
List floating IP address information
To list all floating IP addresses that are allocated to the current project, run:
+--------------------------------------+---------------------+------------------+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+----------------------------------+
| ID | Floating IP Address | Fixed IP Address | Port | Floating Network | Project |
+--------------------------------------+---------------------+------------------+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+----------------------------------+
| 1c59da88-9b5c-4214-930e-8447cebd3980 | <FLEXIHPC_IP> | None | None | 33d0c11b-b659-4b77-9afc-5676fe965839 | 4f07cc254d6c4471805d49bae1f739b9 |
+--------------------------------------+---------------------+------------------+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+----------------------------------+
Associate floating IP addresses
You can assign a floating IP address to a project and to an instance.
Run the following command to allocate a floating IP address to the current project. By default, the floating IP address is allocated from the external pool. The command outputs the allocated IP address:

+--------------------------------------+------+-------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+
Note the port ID to use.
Associate an IP address with an instance in the project, as follows:
For example:
The instance is now associated with two IP addresses:
+--------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+--------+----------------------------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------+
| ID | Name | Status | Networks | Image | Flavor |
+--------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+--------+----------------------------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------+
| 8b08a4fb-7372-4269-a583-9dbc91779ffe | test-instance-wiki | ACTIVE | NeSI-Training-Test=10.1.0.134, <FLEXIHPC_IP> | Ubuntu-Jammy-22.04 | devtest1.2cpu2ram |
+--------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+--------+----------------------------------------------+--------------------------+--------------------+
After you associate the IP address and configure security group rules for the instance, the instance is publicly available at the floating IP address.
Disassociate floating IP addresses
To disassociate a floating IP address from an instance:
To remove the floating IP address from a project:
The IP address is returned to the pool of IP addresses that is available for all projects. If the IP address is still associated with a running instance, it is automatically disassociated from that instance.
