IBM Cloud IP address restriction

If you enable IP address restriction in IBM Cloud, add the IP addresses that you use to access watsonx.data to the allowed list in IBM Cloud. Otherwise, the system denies access.

Procedure

  1. Retrieve the IP address available in the regional Cloudflare trace page.

    Trace page format:

    https://<region>.lakehouse.cloud.ibm.com/cdn-cgi/trace
    

    For example:

    https://eu-de.lakehouse.cloud.ibm.com/cdn-cgi/trace
    

    Output:

    fl=374f35
    h=eu-de.lakehouse.cloud.ibm.com
    ip=171.76.80.113
    ts=1712133673.168
    visit_scheme=https
    uag=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/123.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
    colo=BLR
    sliver=010-tier3
    http=http/2
    loc=IN
    tls=TLSv1.3
    sni=plaintext
    warp=off
    gateway=off
    rbi=off
    kex=X25519
    
  2. Add the IP address that is retrieved from the trace page to the allowed IP address list and click Save.

    The IP address that is displayed with Hint might not match with the one available in the trace page. Add the value from the trace page instead of the value with Hint.

    To add multiple IP addresses in a range, use a CIDR block. For example, if you want to include all IP addresses between 171.76.80.0 and 171.76.80.255, include the CIDR block 171.76.80.128/24.
