| <title>About Portable IP</title> |
| <para>Portable IPs in &PRODUCT; are region-level pool of IPs, which are elastic in nature, that |
| can be transferred across geographically separated zones. As an administrator, you can |
| provision a pool of portable public IPs at region level and are available for user |
| consumption. The users can acquire portable IPs if admin has provisioned portable IPs at the |
| region level they are part of. These IPs can be use for any service within an advanced zone. |
| You can also use portable IPs for EIP services in basic zones. </para> |
| <para>The salient features of Portable IP are as follows:<itemizedlist> |

| <para>Before transferring to another network, ensure that no network rules (Firewall, Static |

| <title>Transferring Portable IP</title> |
| <para>An IP can be transferred from one network to another only if Static NAT is enabled. |
| However, when a portable IP is associated with a network, you can use it for any service in |
| the network. </para> |
| <para>To transfer a portable IP across the networks, execute the following API:</para> |
| <programlisting>http://localhost:8096/client/api?command=enableStaticNat&response=json&ipaddressid=a4bc37b2-4b4e-461d-9a62-b66414618e36&virtualmachineid=a242c476-ef37-441e-9c7b-b303e2a9cb4f&networkid=6e7cd8d1-d1ba-4c35-bdaf-333354cbd49810 </programlisting> |
| <para>Replace the UUID with appropriate UUID. For example, if you want to transfer a portable IP |
| to network X and VM Y in a network, execute the following:</para> |
| <programlisting>http://localhost:8096/client/api?command=enableStaticNat&response=json&ipaddressid=a4bc37b2-4b4e-461d-9a62-b66414618e36&virtualmachineid=Y&networkid=X |
