How to list your private IP addresses

Reviewed on 06 September 2024 • Published on 30 May 2024

IP Address Manager (IPAM) is Scaleway’s tool for planning, tracking and managing the IP address space of Scaleway products. It acts as a single source of truth for the IP addresses of Scaleway resources.

You can currently use IPAM in the Scaleway console to manage the IP address space of your Scaleway Private Networks. This document shows you how to list the private IP addresses of all your Scaleway resources attached to Private Networks.

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

A Scaleway account logged into the console
Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
At least one resource attached to a Private Network.

How to list and filter your private IP addresses

Click IPAM in the Network section of the Scaleway console side menu.

A list of your private IP addresses for the region and VPC pre-selected in the filters displays. Addresses are displayed here if they are reserved in IPAM. This means either:
- You manually reserved an address via IPAM (currently only possible via the IPAM API), or
- You attached a resource to a Private Network: this triggers IPAM to reserve and attach an IP address for the resource on the network.
The full range of IP addresses which are available but unreserved in each of your Private Network’s CIDR blocks do not display in the list.

Tip
When viewing a private IP address in IPAM, it is shown in CIDR notation. For example, the address 172.16.12.2/22 represents the IPv4 address 172.16.12.2and its associated CIDR block 172.16.12.0/22, defined on the Private Network and containing 1024 addresses.
Modify the filters of the list using the drop-down menus at the top. You can filter for IP addresses within a given region, VPC and/or Private Network. You can also opt to filter for only IPv4 or IPv6 addresses:
Click Apply filters to activate the filters you chose, or Reset to reset all filters.
