Adding a Reserved IPv6 Address

Reserve an IPv6 address in a subnet.

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. Open the navigation menu and click Networking. Under Virtual cloud networks, click the name of the VCN that you want.
  2. Under Resources, click Subnets.

     The subnets in the VCN are listed.

  3. Click the name of the subnet to access the Subnet Details page.
  4. Under Resources, click IPv6 Addresses.
  5. Click Add reserved IPv6 address.
  6. In the Add reserved IPv6 address dialog box, enter the following information:
     • Name: Provide a descriptive name for the reserved IP address. It doesn't have to be unique, and it can be changed later in the Console. Avoid entering confidential information.
     • Subnet IPv6 prefix: Provide the IPv6 prefix to be reserved.
     • IPv6 address: Provide the IPv6 to be reserved.
     • Tags: Provide tags for the IPv6 address to be reserved. If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, skip this option or ask an administrator. You can apply tags later.
  7. Click Add reserved IPv6 address.

     The new reserved IPv6 address is successfully created and displayed on the page.
