On the **Network** page, click the **Edit** button.
On the **Edit** page, several tabs are available cick the **Ports** tab, then click the **Add Port** button to add a new port.
The Add VPC Port window appears, with three columns that you must fill in.
ColumnDescription
NamePort name used. The minimum name length is 5 characters.
TypeTwo options are available:

a. Subnet: Automatically assigns an available IP address from the selected subnet.
b. Fixed IP: Allows you to manually specify the IP address for the VPC Port.
SubnetDefines the subnet where the VPC Port will be created. The selected subnet determines the network segment and IP address range assigned to the port.
IP AddressIP 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 AddressA 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 SecurityTwo 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.
