This guide explains how to authorise IP addresses for vCenter access in the OVHcloud Control Panel.

If you have set the vCenter access policy to "Restricted", you need to add the IP addresses that will be allowed to connect to the service.
In your OVHcloud Control Panel, open the "Bare Metal Cloud" section, then select your service under Managed Bare Metal{.action} in the left-hand navigation bar.
From the main page of the service, switch to the Security{.action} tab, then click on Add a new IP address range{.action}.
