Chapter 16. Managing Networks and Traffic
184
The salient features of Portable IP are as follows:
• IP is statically allocated
• IP need not be associated with a network
• IP association is transferable across networks
• IP is transferable across both Basic and Advanced zones
• IP is transferable across VPC, non-VPC isolated and shared networks
• Portable IP transfer is available only for static NAT.
Guidelines
Before transferring to another network, ensure that no network rules (Firewall, Static NAT, Port
Forwarding, and so on) exist on that portable IP.
