Static IP plays a crucial role in virtual machine proxies, not only ensuring the stability and reliability of network communication, but also meeting specific application requirements, facilitating network management and monitoring, enhancing network security, and aiding in the allocation and planning of network resources.

For services and applications that require continuous availability and stability, using static IP is very important.

Specific application requirements

Some applications or services may require a fixed IP address to function properly. For example, remote access, VPN connection, port forwarding, and other functions may require devices to have a static IP address so that remote devices or users can accurately locate and access virtual machine proxies.

Convenient management and monitoring

Using static IP addresses makes it easier to manage and monitor virtual machine agents. By knowing the fixed IP address of the device, administrators can remotely manage the device for troubleshooting, configuration changes, and monitoring.

Static IP addresses can also make it easier to identify and track network activity, which helps with security auditing and network management.

Static IP can enhance network security. By using the fixed IP address of the virtual machine proxy, network administrators can more easily implement security policies, such as access control lists and firewall rules.

Static IP addresses can also reduce the risk of some network attacks, as attackers find it difficult to predict, forge, or impersonate fixed IP addresses.

Direct access and connection

Using a static IP address in a virtual machine proxy allows for direct communication with the proxy without relying on dynamic IP address allocation and resolution, improving communication efficiency.

Resource allocation and planning

In a virtualized environment, the allocation of static IP addresses helps with the planning and allocation of network resources. Administrators can assign different static IP address ranges to different virtual machine agents as needed, achieving reasonable allocation and management of network resources.
