Reserve IP Address

You can reserve IP addresses from MyAccount.
A Reserved IP address is a public IPv4 address. Reserving an IP address ensures that it will be reserved for your MyAccount. This can be used for dynamic cloud computing and is reachable from the internet.

Reserve IPs allow you to create cloud server infrastructures without any single points of failure. With a reserved IP, you can mask resource failures due to increased load or outages by rapidly remapping the address to another instance in your MyAccount. Alternatively, you can dynamically update backend resources by re-assigning the Reserve IP with minimal downtime.

For example, since DNS propagation takes time when A records of a domain change, reserving an IP address lets you move to a new resource without changing A records—useful when transitioning between series (e.g., C2 to Smart Dedicated).

Basic Characteristics of a Reserve IP Address

• To use a Reserve IP, first reserve it from an IP pool or your resource’s default public IPv4. Only after this can it be used as an Add-On or Primary Public IP.
• You can attach a Reserve IP as an Add-On IP, associating it with the primary network interface of a resource. Note that the default primary public IPv4 will not return to E2E’s IP pool when an Add-On Reserve IP is attached.
• A Reserve IP can also serve as the primary public IP during new resource creation (e.g., a Node or Load Balancer).

Note: If a reserved IP is not set as primary during resource creation, a random static public IP will be assigned by default.

You can replace the default public IP with a reserved IP at any time. However, detaching the default IP without reserving it will return it to the E2E Networks IP pool.

Reserve IPs are flexible. They can be detached and re-attached to other resources. A detached Reserve IP remains reserved in your MyAccount until explicitly released.

Billing: Reserved IPs cost ₹199/month (excluding GST), regardless of usage. Prepaid customers will have credits deducted upon reservation, while postpaid customers will see charges on their monthly invoice.

E2E Networks enforces a default Reserve IP limit per account. Contact support if you need a higher limit.
