About Portable IP
Portable IPs in &PRODUCT; are region-level pool of IPs, which are elastic in nature, that
can be transferred across geographically separated zones. As an administrator, you can
- provision a pool of portable IPs at region level and are available for user consumption. The
- users can acquire portable IPs if admin has provisioned portable public IPs at the region
- level they are part of. These IPs can be use for any service within an advanced zone. You can
- also use portable IPs for EIP services in basic zones.

+ Transferring Portable IP
+ An IP can be transferred from one network to another only if Static NAT is enabled.
+ However, when a portable IP is associated with a network, you can use it for any service in
+ the network.
+ To transfer a portable IP across the networks, execute the following API:
+ http://localhost:8096/client/api?command=enableStaticNat&response=json&ipaddressid=a4bc37b2-4b4e-461d-9a62-b66414618e36&virtualmachineid=a242c476-ef37-441e-9c7b-b303e2a9cb4f&networkid=6e7cd8d1-d1ba-4c35-bdaf-333354cbd49810
+ Replace the UUID with appropriate UUID. For example, if you want to transfer a portable IP
+ to network X and VM Y in a network, execute the following:
+ http://localhost:8096/client/api?command=enableStaticNat&response=json&ipaddressid=a4bc37b2-4b4e-461d-9a62-b66414618e36&virtualmachineid=Y&networkid=X
