How to search for an instance using IP address

You can search for instances using an IP address with the OpenStack command-line client or using the DreamCompute dashboard.

You can search for an instance from the command line using the IP address parameter. The example below shows the results of a search for the IP address 10.0.0.4.

[user@localhost]$ openstack server list --ip 10.0.0.4
+------------------+----------------------+--------+------------+-------------+------------------+
| ID               | Name                 | Status | Task State | Power State | Networks         |
+------------------+----------------------+--------+------------+-------------+------------------+
| 8a99547e-7385... | myInstanceFromVolume | ACTIVE | None       | Running     | private=10.0.0.4 |
+------------------+----------------------+--------+------------+-------------+------------------+

1. Navigate to the DreamCompute page.
2. Click the View Dashboard button.
3. On the left, click 'Compute'.
4. From the dropdown, click Instances.
5. Select the type of IP address you want to search for (IPv4 or IPv6), type the address into the search box, and click the "Filter" button.

Any instances with that IP address are displayed.
