voxel.ips.assign
Assign an IP address to a server or VM.
Parameters
device_id(required)- Numeric Voxel device id, available from devices.list
facility(required)- Datacenter facility code, available via voxcloud.facilities.list or voxservers.facilities.list.
ip_address_type(required)- The type of address to assign. Must be one of "frontend" or "backend".
ip_address(optional)- The specific address to assign. Must be from one of the VLANs valid at the requested facility.
Example Response
<rsp stat="ok"> <ipassignment description="192.168.1.1/32" id="1234" type="frontend">192.168.1.1</ipassignment> </rsp>
Notes
You must specify a device_id (e.g., from
devices.list); a facility code (generally, one that is
associated with some IP addresses in ips.list); and an
ip_address_type (one of "frontend" or "backend",
depending upon whether you want a publicly accessible IP or one
internal to Voxel's network). For the call to succeed, you must have
some available IPs matching the criteria; ips.list lists your
available IP addresses.
If you specify a specific ip_address, and that address
is available at the requested facility and assigned to your account,
then that address is assigned to the specified device.
The method returns several details of the IP assignment, including the assigned IP itself, its type, and an IP assignment id that may be used with ips.unassign.
Method Specific Error Codes
100: Unknown device- The device_id passed in can't be matched to a valid device.
