# Manage Edge router IP addresses

IP addresses are assigned to an [Edge router](/public-cloud/manage-networks/edge-routers.mdx) and used to access the virtual data center from external networks, for example, from the internet.

An Edge router is always created with a base IP address.

The IP address limit is shared across the entire organization and is set to 20 addresses. To increase the limit, [create a ticket](https://my.selectel.ru/tickets/create).

## Add an IP address \{#add-ip-address}

4. In the Edge router card, open the **IP addresses** block.
5. Click **Add IP address**.
