Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and choose Network > Virtual Private Cloud.

   The Virtual Private Cloud page is displayed.

3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Virtual Private Cloud > Subnets.
4. In the subnet list, click the name of the subnet where a virtual IP address is to be assigned.
5. Click the IP Addresses tab and click Assign Virtual IP Address.
6. Select a virtual IP address assignment mode.
   • Automatic: The system assigns an IP address automatically.
   • Manual: You can specify an IP address.
7. Select Manual and enter a virtual IP address.
8. Click OK.

You can then query the assigned virtual IP address in the IP address list.
