Connect a public IP address to the load balancer

A static public IP address can be connected when creating a balancer or in an already created balancer.

Create a public IP address in the pool where the load balancer resides.
If the load balancer is on a private subnet, connect subnet to cloud router. Check that the router is connected to external network.
In Control Panel, go to Cloud Platform → Balancers.
In the balancer card, click Connect Public IP Address. Select a public IP address.

Open OpenStack CLI.
Look for the balancer port ID — the vip_port_id value from the command output:
```
openstack loadbalancer show <loadbalancer>
```
Specify <loadbalancer> — balancer ID or name, can be viewed with openstack loadbalancer list
Connect the public IP address to the balancer:
```
openstack floating ip set --port <loadbalancer_port_ID> <floating_IP>
```
Specify:
- <loadbalancer_port_ID> — Balancer port ID;
- <floating_IP> is the public IP address.
