You can add ports to a VPC for other instances to use.

  • On the Network page, click the Edit button.

  • The Add VPC Port window appears, with three columns that you must fill in.

Column
Description

Name

Port name used. The minimum name length is 5 characters.

IP Address

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.

MAC Address

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.

Port Security

Two options are available: a.Enabled can be directly used by Instances b.Disabled is available in the VPC Port list but cannot be used by the Instance.

  • 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.

  • A notification "port has been successfully added" appears and the port is available in the VPC Port list.

  • To be able to update the data used by the port on the VPC Details page, press the More button and select Edit.

  • You can only change the port configuration that has been added to VPC Ports, namely Name and Port Security.
