Chapter 16. Managing Networks and Traffic
184
The salient features of Portable IP are as follows:
IP is statically allocated
IP need not be associated with a network
IP association is transferable across networks
IP is transferable across both Basic and Advanced zones
IP is transferable across VPC, non-VPC isolated and shared networks
Portable IP transfer is available only for static NAT.

Guidelines

Before transferring to another network, ensure that no network rules (Firewall, Static NAT, Port
Forwarding, and so on) exist on that portable IP.
