Managing IP Blocks

Once you have ordered or on-boarded an IP Block, you can view and manage it from your IP Blocks Inventory.

1. Sign in to the Customer Portal and navigate to Internet Access.

2. Click IP Blocks to go to your IP Blocks Inventory.

The table displays all of your IP Blocks including their location, version (IPv4/IPv6), Owner (Equinix/customer), prefix length, and current status.

Click a column name to sort by that column. Click Show only available IP Blocks to filter the table.

To get the IP Block details, click its UUID in the Identifier column.

Using an IP Block

To use an IP Block, refer to the documentation of the service you are using it for. Using IP Blocks is supported by:

• Internet Access - See IP Address Allocation, Ordering Internet Access, and Change IP Blocks.

If an IP Block is in use, the service using it is listed in the Used by column. If an IP Block is not in use, it says, "Not in use".

Deleting an IP Block

You can not delete an IP Block that is in use by a service. Remove the IP Block from use before deleting. If you are attempting to delete an IP Block from a recently deprovisioned service, wait a few minutes for the IP Block to be released.

To delete an IP Block:

1. In your IP Blocks Inventory table, locate the IP Block you want to delete.

2. In the Actions column, click Delete.

You can also delete an IP Block from its details pane.

Once deleted, the IP Block remains in your inventory with status Deleted.
