# Cloud Disk Array - IP-ACL-Erstellung (EN)

## Objective

This guide shows you how to create an IP ACL to allow access to your Ceph cluster, using the OVHcloud Control Panel or the OVHcloud API.

## Requirements

- A [Cloud Disk Array](https://www.ovhcloud.com/de/storage-solutions/cloud-disk-array/) solution


***

### OVHcloud Control Panel Access

- **Direct link:** <ManagerLink to="/#/dedicated/cda">Cloud Disk Array</ManagerLink>
- **Navigation path:** <code className="action">Bare Metal Cloud</code> > <code className="action">Cloud Disk Array</code> > Select your service

***


## Instructions

:::info
Using the OVHcloud Control Panel is the easiest way to create an IP ACL.

:::

### Using the OVHcloud Control Panel

On your Cloud Disk Array service page, go to the `IP Access Control
` tab. By default, there is no ACL.
![Ceph pools](/images/storage-and-backup/block-storage/cloud-disk-array/ceph-create-an-ip-acl/ceph-add-ip-1.png)
Get your ip address:

```bash
admin@server:~$ ip -4 a
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
    inet 123.123.123.123/32 brd 234.234.234.234 scope global eth0
      valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
```

Add your IP.

![Ceph pools](/images/storage-and-backup/block-storage/cloud-disk-array/ceph-create-an-ip-acl/ceph-add-ip-2.png)
Then create the IP ACL.

After the pool creation, you can see that the cluster status has changed because the ACL is being created.

### Using the API

:::tip
If you are not familiar with the OVHcloud API, read our [First Steps with the OVHcloud API](/de/guides/manage-and-operate/api/first-steps.md) guide.

:::

Use the following API call:


🇪🇺EU▾

[POST/dedicated/ceph/{serviceName}/acl](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/dedicated/ceph&branch=v1#post-/dedicated/ceph/-serviceName-/acl)

`serviceName` is the fsid of your cluster.

You can check ACL creation by listing ACL:


🇪🇺EU▾

[GET/dedicated/ceph/{serviceName}/acl](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/dedicated/ceph&branch=v1#get-/dedicated/ceph/-serviceName-/acl)

Example:

```bash
GET /dedicated/ceph/98d166d8-7c88-47b7-9cb6-63acd5a59c15/acl
[
  {
    network: "123.123.123.123"
    id: 57054
    netmask: "255.255.255.255"
    family: "IPV4"
  }
]
```
