save and categorize content based on your preferences use the instructions on this page to view the network interfaces networks subnets and ip addresses for a compute instance before you begin if you haven t already set up authentication authentication verifies your identity for access to google cloud services and apis to run code or samples from a local development environment you can authenticate to compute engine by selecting one of the following options select the tab for how you plan to use the samples on this page console when you use the google cloud console to access google cloud services and apis you don t need to set up authentication gcloud install the google cloud cli after installation initialize the google cloud cli by running the following command gcloud init if you re using an external identity provider idp you must first sign in to the gcloud cli with your federated identity note if you installed the gcloud cli previously make sure you have the latest version by running gcloud components update set a default region and zone rest to use the rest api samples on this page in a local development environment you use the credentials you provide to the gcloud cli install the google cloud cli if you re using an external identity provider idp you must first sign in to the gcloud cli with your federated identity for more information see authenticate for using rest in the google cloud authentication documentation required roles to get the permissions that you need to view the network configuration for an instance ask your administrator to grant you the compute instance admin v1 roles compute instanceadmin v1 or compute network admin roles compute networkadmin iam role on the project for more information about granting roles see manage access to projects folders and organizations this predefined role contains the permissions required to view the network configuration for an instance to see the exact permissions that are required expand the required permissions section required permissions the following permissions are required to view the network configuration for an instance view network configuration for an instance compute instances get on the instance view ip addresses for an instance compute instances list on the project you might also be able to get these permissions with custom roles or other predefined roles view ip addresses you can view the internal and external ip addresses for your instance the ip addresses can be either ipv4 or ipv6 addresses console in the google cloud console go to the vm instances page go to vm instances optional use the filter_list filter box to restrict the number of instances shown if the instance has an external ip address it appears under the external ip column if the external ip column is empty then there is no external ip address for the instance if the instance doesn t have an external ip address then you can assign one depending on the column display options you might see more columns or fewer columns than appear in the previous image gcloud there are two commands you can use to view the ip addresses for an instance gcloud compute instances list shows all ip addresses used by a compute instance either static or ephemeral gcloud compute addresses list shows all the reserved ip addresses that are assigned to a compute instance this task shows how to view ip addresses using gcloud compute instances commands to view the internal and external ip addresses for your instances use the gcloud compute instances list command gcloud compute instances list you can append the filter clause to restrict the number of instances returned by the command for example filter zone us central1 c the output is similar to the following name zone machine_type preemptible internal_ip external_ip status webapp1 us central1 c c3 highmem 88 true 192 0 2 11 running my instance us central1 c n4 standard 2 192 0 2 126 203 0 113 6 running my dual stack us central1 a e2 micro 192 0 2 54

that type for the instance you can assign one to view the internal or external ip address for a specific instance use the gcloud compute instances describe command with a format flag to filter the output internal addresses to view the internal ip address for a specific instance use either of the following commands ipv4 addresses gcloud compute instances describe instance_name zone zone format get networkinterfaces 0 networkip 192 0 2 11 ipv6 addresses gcloud compute instances describe instance_name zone zone format get networkinterfaces 0 ipv6address 2001 db8 2 2 2 2 2 2 external addresses to view the external ip address for a specific instance use either of the following commands ipv4 addresses gcloud compute instances describe instance_name zone zone format get networkinterfaces 0 accessconfigs 0 natip 203 0 113 6 ipv6 addresses gcloud compute instances describe instance_name zone zone format get networkinterfaces 0 ipv6accessconfigs 0 externalipv6 2001 db8 3 3 3 3 3 3 replace the following instance_name the name of the instance whose internal or external ip you want to view zone the name of the zone where the instance is located if the command doesn t return an ip address then the instance doesn t have an external ip address configured rest make a get request to the instances get method by appending a fields query parameter to the request you can restrict the output to just the fields of interest get https compute googleapis com compute v1 projects project_name zones zone instances instance_name fields name networkinterfaces networkip networkinterfaces accessconfigs natip networkinterfaces ipv6accessconfigs externalipv6 replace the following project_name the name of the project that contains the instance zone the zone for the instance that you want to query instance_name the name of the instance resource to return if any of the ip addresses are not configured then that field doesn t appear in the output for a compute instance that uses a dual stack network with an external ipv6 address your response body resembles the following name my dual stack vm networkinterfaces networkip 10 0 0 2 accessconfigs natip 104 155 21 204 ipv6accessconfigs

least one virtual network interface vnic and each network interface uses a unique subnet in a vpc network you can view the configured network interfaces dynamic network interfaces nics and properties of the network interfaces for an instance using the following methods console in the google cloud console go to the vm instances page go to vm instances optional use the filter_list filter box to restrict the number of instances shown click the name of the instance that you want to inspect in the networking section under network interfaces you can see the following network interface nic names for the instance for example nic0 or nic0 14 the vpc network and subnet associated with each nic vlan id for dynamic nic network interface type primary internal and external ip address ip stack type you can click the name of a nic to open the network interface details page on this page you can see the firewalls and routes used by the nic and also perform a connectivity test for the nic gcloud to view the network interfaces nics for a compute instance use the gcloud compute instances describe command you can append a format option to the command to restrict the information returned to specific fields and change how it is displayed for example gcloud compute instances describe instance_name zone zone format flattened name networkinterfaces name networkinterfaces network basename
