# Move a floating IP
Source: https://docs.infraista.com/en/networking/floating-ips/move-a-floating-ip



Moving a floating IP switches its traffic to another server within a few seconds. No restart is
needed.

1. Go to **Network & Library › Floating IPs** and open the address.
2. Under **Assignment**, choose the server in **Move to another server** (or **Assign to** if it isn't
   assigned).
3. Select **Reassign** (or **Assign**) and confirm.

Only instances and AI servers in the same zone, with a primary IP of the same type and no other
floating IP, are listed. If none qualify, create a server in that zone, or unassign the floating IP
held by a server that already has one.

You can also select **Attach** or **Detach** on the address's row in the list.

## Unassign without releasing [#unassign-without-releasing]

Select **Unassign**. Requests to the address stop reaching the server right away, but you keep the
address and can assign it again at any time. It's still billed while reserved.
