IBM Cloud IP ranges

IBM Cloud IP ranges

A frequently asked question is, "What IP ranges do I allow through the firewall?" The following tables contain the full range of IP addresses to use with these IBM firewalls and appliances. The most important subnets to focus on are the IBM Cloud service networks. These are private (rfc1918) subnets that require connections to and from your servers for provisioning, reloads, remote reboots, and other infrastructure services like DNS resoution, NTP (time) and network attached storage.

  • IBM Cloud Juniper vSRX Standard
  • IBM Cloud Ciena Virtual Router Appliance (Vyatta)
  • IBM Cloud Fortinet vFSA
  • IBM Cloud Fortinet Fortigate Security Appliance 10 Gbps
  • IBM Cloud Security Groups
  • IBM Cloud Hardware Firewall

To identify potential conflicts between IP ranges in your on-premises environment and IP ranges used in IBM Cloud, you can search in the IP Ranges Calculator tool. By using the tool, you can download the listed IP ranges in JSON format. Disclaimer: This community tool is updated based on support availability.

Service network (on back-end/private network)

CHANGE LOG

To provision and reload classic Virtual Servers and classic Bare Metal Servers, the following private service networks must be allowed through your gateway appliances and firewalls.

Be sure to configure rules and verify routes for the service networks listed in the table below for "All", dal10, wdc04, and the location of your server.

Additionally, complete the following steps:

  • Allow and route the following service networks to the BCR on your gateway appliance or firewall for all Bare Metal and Virtual Server provisions and reloads: 10.0.64.0/19, 10.200.80.0/20, 161.26.13.0/24, 161.26.96.0/22, 166.9.12.0/23, 166.9.48.0/24, 166.9.50.0/24, 166.9.228.0/24, 166.9.250.192/27, 10.3.160.0/20, 10.201.0.0/20, 161.26.92.0/22, 161.26.132.0/22, 166.9.20.0/23, 166.9.231.0/24.
  • For RHEL servers, ensure the entire 161.26.0.0/16 is allowed and routed properly to the BCR. Add any additional datacenter service networks that are mentioned in the RHEL section near the bottom of the page.
  • Allow traffic between the service networks and your server in both directions.
  • By default, all classic servers and classic gateway and firewall devices are configured with a static route for the 10.0.0.0/8, 161.26.0.0/16 and 166.8.0.0/14 networks to the Back-end Customer Router (BCR). If you configure overlapping routes with those subnets, validate that you have also configured PBR or a similar service. Otherwise, consider using different IP space that doesn't overlap with our service networks for your VPNs or tunnels. Failing to do so can result in the failure to provision your Virtual Servers and Bare Metal Servers.

Ports to allow:

  • All TCP/UDP ports (for access from your local workstation)
  • ICMP – ping (for support troubleshooting and monitoring)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux server requirements

If your server uses a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) license provided by IBM Cloud infrastructure, provisioning is dependent on completing the following actions:

  • Complete the SSL VPN requirements listed in Service network (on back-end/private network).
  • Open the RHEL endpoint rhha01.updates.us-south.iaas.service.networklayer.com. This requires adding the IP 161.26.112.28 to the firewall rules. Since DNS round robin is involved, this endpoint is not a single endpoint and could be moved as needed.
  • Allow access to the service network as follows. Otherwise, updates and licensing do not function properly.

To resolve common provisioning issues, permit access to the entire service network by allowing the IP 161.26.0.0/16.

Windows VSI server requirements

If you have a firewall, you must allow your Windows VSI to access to WSUS server IP address ranges as follows; otherwise, updates and licensing do not function properly.

  • wsustok0401.service.softlayer.com is 10.201.177.200
  • wsustok0201.service.softlayer.com is 10.3.65.50
  • wsustok0501.service.softlayer.com is 10.201.193.200
Table 13: Windows VSI server requirements
Data Center City BCR IP Range
tok04 Tokyo 10.3.17.0/24
10.192.0.0/16
10.201.187.0/24

For more information about locating your WSUS server in the Windows registry by using a registration key, see Configuring Automatic Updates by editing the registry or Configure Clients in a Non–Active Directory Environment.

  1. The 10.1.129.0/24 subnet, within the 10.1.128.0/19 master subnet, is used for Global service virtual IPs, which are not located in dal05. ↩︎

  2. Directionality is from the customer compute perspective. Outbound means leaving your account towards the service. Inbound means service reaching out to compute. ↩︎
