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
-
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
-
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
and171.76.80.255
, include the CIDR block171.76.80.128/24
.
