16.11. Guest IP Ranges
The IP ranges for guest network traffic are set on a per-account basis by the user. This allows the
users to configure their network in a fashion that will enable VPN linking between their guest network
and their clients.
In shared networks in Basic zone and Security Group-enabled Advanced networks, you will have the
flexibility to add multiple guest IP ranges from different subnets. You can add or remove one IP range
at a time. For more information, see Section 16.17, “Multiple Subnets in Shared Network”.

You are prompted for confirmation because, typically, IP addresses are a limited resource. Within
a few moments, the new IP address should appear with the state Allocated. You can now use the
IP address in port forwarding or static NAT rules.
16.13. Releasing an IP Address
When the last rule for an IP address is removed, you can release that IP address. The IP address still
belongs to the VPC; however, it can be picked up for any guest network again.
