#Customer intent: As an ARO SRE, I need to configure multiple outbound IP addresses per ARO cluster load balancers

# Configure multiple IP addresses per ARO cluster load balancer

ARO public clusters are created with a public load balancer that's used for outbound connectivity from inside the cluster. By default, one public IP address is configured on that public load balancer, and that limits the maximum node count of your cluster to 65. To be able to scale your cluster to the maximum supported number of 250 nodes, you need to assign multiple additional public IP addresses to the load balancer.

You can configure up to 20 IP addresses per cluster. The outbound rules and frontend IP configurations are adjusted to accommodate the number of IP addresses.

## Requirements

The multiple public IPs feature is only available on the current network architecture used by ARO; older clusters don't support this feature. If your cluster was created before OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) version 4.5, this feature isn't available even if you upgraded your OCP version since then.

If you have a loadbalancer named `$CLUSTER-public-lb`, the cluster has the older network architecture and can't use the multiple public IP feature.

In order to run the commands in this article, you must first download the ARO extension wheel file from [https://aka.ms/az-aroext-latest](https://aka.ms/az-aroext-latest). To install the extension, run the following command:

## Create the cluster with multiple IP addresses
5444

5545
To create a new ARO cluster with multiple managed IPs on the public load balancer, use the following command with the desired number of IPs in the `--load-balancer-managed-outbound-ip-count` parameter. In the example below, seven (7) IP addresses will be created:

## Update the number of IP addresses on existing clusters
6457

6558
To update the number of managed IPs on the public load balancer of an existing ARO cluster, use the following command with the desired number of IPs in the `--load-balancer-managed-outbound-ip-count` parameter. In the example below, the number of IPs for the cluster will be updated to four (4):

```

--name aroCluster \
64+
--load-balancer-managed-outbound-ip-count 4

```

You can use this update method to either increase or decrease the number of IPs on a cluster to be between 1 and 20. Note that scaling down the number of clusters can interrupt the outbound network traffic from the cluster.
