<table><thead><tr><th width="176">Column</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Name</strong></td><td>Port name used. The minimum name length is 5 characters.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>IP Address</strong></td><td>IP address used. For example, if the IP address on the network that uses a class C IP address is 198.18.1.0/24, then you must fill in the IP Address column with the host address starting from 198.18.1.2 to a maximum of 192.18.1 254.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>MAC Address</strong></td><td>A unique address used to identify a device. This column is optional to fill in, because when you add a port your port automatically gets a MAC Address.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Port Security</strong></td><td>Two options are available:<br>a.Enabled can be directly used by Instances<br>b.Disabled is available in the VPC Port list but cannot be used by the Instance.</td></tr></tbody></table>

* After filling in all the columns, the next step is to press the Add button to continue the process of adding ports to the VPC.
