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 the subnet to the cloud router. Check that the router is connected to an external network.
В control panels go to Cloud platform → Balancers → tab Balancers.
In the balancer card, click Connect a public IP address. Select a public IP address.

Open the OpenStack CLI.
Look at the balancer port ID — value vip_port_id from the output of the command:
```
openstack loadbalancer show <loadbalancer>
```
Specify <loadbalancer> — ID or name of the balancer. The list can be viewed by 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> — public IP address.
