# Floating IPs

## Overview

HPE Morpheus Enterprise supports sync and management of floating IP addresses for OpenStack, Huawei, and OTC Clouds. When these Clouds are integrated and floating IPs are present, HPE Morpheus Enterprise will automatically sync them in. Once synced, floating IPs are viewable from their own list page (Infrastructure > Network > Floating IPs) and related options are presented during provisioning, teardown, and from Instance detail pages.

NOTE

The Floating IPs tab is present only when supported Clouds are integrated and floating IPs are available. Additional Cloud support is planned for the future.

## Floating IPs List Page

All Floating IPs known to HPE Morpheus Enterprise can be viewed on the Floating IPs List Page (Infrastructure > Network > Floating IPs). From the Floating IPs list page we can see the following:

- **IP ADDRESS**: The address for the floating IP synced from a supported Cloud
- **CLOUD**: The Cloud integration the floating IP was synced from
- **STATUS**: “Free” when the floating IP is available and “Assigned” when the floating IP is currently assigned to a workload
- **VM**: For assigned floating IPs, the VM which currently has the floating IP attached

Free floating IPs will have a gear icon (⚙) at the end of the row. Click the gear icon and select “Release Floating IP” to release from within the source cloud and remove the entry from the Floating IPs list.

## Working with Floating IPs

When provisioning to supported Clouds, HPE Morpheus Enterprise will give the option to attach a floating IP at provision time. From the CONFIGURE tab of the provisioning wizard for supported Clouds, select the desired floating IP.

During Instance teardown, HPE Morpheus Enterprise gives the option to release the floating IP.
