### Flexible IPs

Flexible IPs are IPs that are unrelated to the physical machine and can be assigned to your Elastic Metal resources. Flexible IPs can either be a IPv4 (/32 subnet - one IPv4 address) or an IPv6 subnet (/64 subnet).

There are two scenarios for additional flexible IPs:

* Without virtualization: Assign the additional IP directly to the host OS interface. No virtual MAC or interface is required.

* With virtualization: A virtual interface must be added to the network interface using an hypervisor (e.g. QEMU/KVM), and attached to a single virtual MAC address.

### Flexible IPv6

4747
Scaleway supports flexible IPv6 addresses on Elastic Metal servers. These operate similarly to flexible IPv4 addresses and must also be manually configured.

## Private Networks
5352

54-
Private Networks are an optional feature that can be enabled per server. For each attached Private Network, a dedicated VLAN with a private IP is created on the NIC. This setup enables secure, isolated communication between Elastic Metal servers and other resources (e.g. Instances, Load Balancers) within the same Private Network, or same VPC.

## KVM public IP

The KVM public IP is the IP address used to access the KVM-over-IP device of the machine.
61-
This IP address is used to provide remote access to the server in case the machine can't be reached anymore on the public IP or to install a custom OS using the KVM over IP device. It is configured on the same physical NIC but is not visible from the OS.

The KVM public IP uses a special connection handled by the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and Scaleway's internal network.
