Creating service IP labels or IP addresses for a cluster

Use this task to create service IP labels or IP addresses that can be added later to a resource group.

Fields

Network name
Select the name of the network to which the service IP label or IP address is to be bound.
Netmask (IPv4) / Prefix length (IPv6)
Specify either a netmask for an Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address or an optional prefix length for an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address.

For an IPv4 label or address, you can specify a netmask in the range 1-32, or in the format n.n.n.n, where n is a valid IP address value in the range 0-255 (for example, 0.0.0.255). You must specify a netmask for an IPv4 address when the underlying network is IPv6. A specified netmask is ignored when the service IP label or IP address and the underlying network are both IPv4.

For an IPv6 label or address, you can specify a prefix length in the range of 1-128. You must specify a prefix length for an IPv6 address when the underlying network is IPv4. A specified prefix length is ignored when the service IP label or IP address and the underlying network are both IPv6.
