Reserve IP

In order to prevent IPAM from allocating a specific IP, the XaaS Blueprint "Reserve IP" can be used. By tagging it as 'RESERVED', vRA will not use the reserved IP to be assigned to an network interface.

A common use case is to create a loadbalancer or a cluster VIP that is not managed by vRA.

Prerequisite

If you want to reserve a specific IP, this IP must not be in use.

Create Blueprint

Fill in following fields and click on Request.

  • Network: the network where the IP should be reserved.
  • Network Range: applicable if you would like to reserve an IP Range instead of a single IP.
  • Reserve a Specific IP: tick if you know what IP from your defined network range shall be reserved. Only free IPs can be chosen.
  • Reservation Notes: annotation to find your reservation when you retreive reserved IPs
  • Add Object to Tufin: Tick off only to sepcify tufin function for the IP. Only applicable for tenants managed with tufin firewall management.
  • Gateway: Specify the IP gateway

Additional information

You can directly add the IP to tufin firewall management. Adding objects to tufin is only applicable for tenant firewalling managed by Swisscom / tufin.
