ApsaraDB for MongoDB:Configure an IP address whitelist

Usage notes

• Maintain your IP address whitelists regularly to keep your MongoDB instances secure.

• The default whitelist is created by the system. You can edit it, but you cannot delete it. For details about other whitelist names and sources, see How do I understand the names and sources of an IP address whitelist for ApsaraDB for MongoDB?

Procedure

1. Go to the Replica Set Instances or Sharded Cluster Instances page.

2. In the top navigation bar, select the region and resource group of your instance. Then, click the instance ID.

3. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Data Security > Whitelist Settings.

4. Click Create Whitelist.

5. In the Create Whitelist panel, configure the following settings:

   1. Enter a whitelist name.

      The name must be 2 to 32 characters in length, start with a lowercase letter, end with a lowercase letter or digit, and contain only lowercase letters, digits, and underscores (_).

   2. Select the IPv4 or IPv6 tab based on the IP address type.

      Note

      IPv6 is supported only by instances that run MongoDB 4.2.

   3. In the IP Whitelist field, add IP addresses.

      Separate multiple entries with commas (,). A maximum of 1,000 entries can be added per whitelist.

      IP version	Supported formats	Example
      IPv4	Individual IP addresses	10.23.12.24
      IPv4	CIDR blocks (prefix length: 1 to 32)	10.23.12.24/24
      IPv6	Individual IP addresses	--

      Warning

      If the whitelist contains only 0.0.0.0/0 or is empty, all IP addresses can access the instance. This poses a security risk. Proceed with caution.

6. Click OK.
