An block is a public IPv4 or IPv6 subnet that you order, manage, and link to your services in the Megaport Portal. IP Address is available as a standalone product, alongside Ports, MCRs, MVEs, and NAT Gateways.
You do not need an existing Megaport Internet connection to order an IP Address block. You can link the block to one or more Megaport Internet connections in the same metro during ordering or at any time afterward to advertise the addresses.
How it works
An IP Address block is available across a metro rather than being tied to a specific data center or connection. When you order a block, you select a metro, IP version, and subnet size. Megaport then provisions the block automatically, typically within seconds. No manual approval is required.
After a block is live, you can:
-
Link it to one or more Megaport Internet connections in the same metro. A block can be linked to multiple connections, and a connection can have multiple blocks linked to it. For more information, see Linking and Unlinking Megaport Internet Connections.
-
Request a new IP Address block directly from an existing Megaport Internet connection, on the Megaport Internet tab of the Connection Details page, instead of starting from Add Service.
-
Rename the block, update its resource tags, or change its linked connections at any time.
After you order a block, its metro, IP version, and subnet size cannot be changed. To use a different metro, IP version, or subnet size, you must order a new IP Address block.
If you delete an IP Address block, any linked Megaport Internet connections are automatically unlinked before the block is deleted. The addresses return to the available pool, so you might not be able to order the same range again.
IP Address block sizes
IP Address blocks are available in IPv4 and IPv6 subnet sizes.
IPv4
IPv6
The monthly rate for each subnet size is shown when you select it during ordering. Some IPv6 block sizes have no monthly charge. For more information, see Creating an IP Address Block.
Resource limits
By default, the resource limit for IP Address blocks is 0 (Zero). To adjust the limit, contact Megaport Support or your Customer Success Manager. For more information, see Limits and Quotas.
IP Address terms
IP Address blocks are ordered on a minimum 12-month contract term. By default, the block automatically renews for another 12-month term when the contract ends. You can turn off automatic renewal during ordering, or later, so the block moves to month-to-month billing instead.
If you terminate the block before the end of its term, an early termination fee (ETF) applies. You can waive the ETF by ordering an eligible replacement service. For more information, see IP Address Pricing and Contract Terms and Managing Early Termination Fees.
