IPAM - Quickstart

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.

Read more about IPAM and future planned functionality.

You can currently use IPAM in the Scaleway console to list the private IP addresses of all your Scaleway resources attached to Private Networks, and view/edit their additional information.

How to list and filter your private IP addresses

1. 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.

2. 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:

3. Click Apply filters to activate the filters you chose, or Reset to reset all filters.

   You can view the following information:

   • The IP address
   • The region of the IP address
   • Which resource (if any) it is attached to
   • The ID of the IP address
   • The date on which the IP was created. This corresponds to the date it was reserved in IPAM, either via a manual API reservation or when it was attached to a resource on a Private Network.
   • The date on which the IP was last updated
   • The tags associated with the IP address. You can edit these tags if you wish.
