Network configuration

All instances come with a routed /32 IPv4 and a routed /64 IPv6 network by default.

You can see your instance's network configuration in the Networking tab of your instance details.

Should I use DHCP or static network configuration?​

We run DHCPv4 servers towards all instances, so you can use DHCP to automatically configure your IPv4 networking. IPv6 must however be configured statically.
