Upgrade Configuration profile interfaces to Linode interfaces (BETA)

Use this procedure to automatically upgrade all configuration profile interfaces belonging to a specific Linode to Linode interfaces.

After the upgrade:

• New Linode interfaces are created to match the existing configuration profile interfaces.
• The Linode will only use Linode interfaces and cannot revert to configuration profile interfaces.
• Private IPv4 addresses are not supported on public Linode interfaces—services relying on a private IPv4 will no longer function.
• All firewalls are removed from the Linode. Any previously attached firewalls are reassigned to the new public and VPC interfaces. Default firewalls are not applied if none were originally attached.
• Public interfaces retain the Linode’s existing MAC address and SLAAC IPv6 address.
• Configuration profile interfaces are removed from the Configurations tab. The new Linode interfaces will appear in the Network tab.

❗️

This action is irreversible

You can upgrade a Linode that uses a legacy configuration profile interface to use a Linode interface. However, this action is irreversible—once upgraded, configuration profile interfaces can no longer be used. Additionally, Linode interfaces do not support private IPv4 addresses. As a result, Linodes using Linode interfaces cannot be used with products that require private IPs.
