Updating a Floating IP Address

Function

This API is used to update a floating IP address.

During the update, the ID of the floating IP address must be provided in the URL.

If port_id is left blank, the floating IP address has been unbound from the port.

Restrictions

When you bind a floating IP address, if the floating IP address is in the error state, try unbinding the address first.

You are not allowed to associate a port that has a floating IP address associated to another floating IP address. You must first disassociate the port from the IP address and then associate it with another IP address.

URI

PUT /v2.0/floatingips/{floatingip_id}
