Configure a network for EIPs

If you have not configured a network for elastic IP addresses (EIPs) during installation, you can configure a network in the KubeSphere Virtualization (KSV) console after installation. This topic describes how to configure a network for EIPs in the KSV web console.

Prerequisites

The user that you use has been granted the permissions to use the Physical Resources module. The Physical Resources module is available only to user admin.
