Assigning External IP Addresses to a Tenant#
External IP addresses can be assigned to tenants. When an external IP is assigned, appropriate routing rules are created automatically.

- Click IP Addresses on the left menu.
- Click New.
- In the Type field, select Virtual IP.
- In the IP Address field, enter the external IP Address.
- Hostname can be left blank.
- Optionally, a Description can be entered to record additional administrative information.
- In the Owner Type dropdown list, select Tenant.
- In the Owner dropdown list, select the name of the tenant.
- Click Submit at the bottom of the page.
- From the external network dashboard, click Apply Rules on the left menu (to apply to the host external network). Hint: To return to the external network dashboard you can click the appropriate breadcrumb at the top or use the browser back button.
- Navigate to the Tenant Network Dashboard (Main Dashboard -> Networks -> Tenant Networks -> double click the tenant network).
- Click Apply Rules (to apply to the tenant network).
