# Quick Start

<!--- Template Guidance 
Write a short introduction and the getting started guide to your product. 
If there are any standout features to call it, this is probably the place to do it. 

NOTE: Take a look at the quick-start of Object Storage (community/community/content/product/storage/object-storage/quick-start/_index.md) for an idea on the tone and the level of detail.

## Add IPv6 to Existing Instance

In the details of the instance, below the IPv4 address, you will find
a toggle to enable IPv6:

There is no need to reboot your instance - an IPv6 address is configured to the public interface of your instance within a few seconds.

## Add IPv6 to New Instance

During instance creation, you can enable IPv6 by clicking on the toggle labeled
`Enable IPv6`:

In addition to an IPv4 address, the new instance will receive an IPv6 address.
