  "content": "Each node in Redis Enterprise can be configured with [private and external IP addresses](). By default, Redis Enterprise Software databases expose a single endpoint, e.g. cluster.com (FQDN), using the external IP addresses, making it available to the public network (e.g. the internet). Additionally, the cluster can be configured to expose a private FQDN, which utilizes the private IP addresses for access from the private network only (e.g. VPC or an internal network).\n\nWhen you create a cluster via the UI, you can configure it to expose private and public endpoints.\nThis is common for environments such as cloud platforms and enterprises.\n\nWhen doing so, the cluster creates an additional FQDN, e.g. internal.cluster.com for private network (e.g. VPC or an internal network), while the cluster.com FQDN can be used by a public network (e.g. the internet).\n\nYou can enable public and private endpoints during cluster creation only.\nHowever, you can still add an additional FQDN in a different domain (cluster.io, for example) after cluster creation.\n\nTo enable private and public endpoints:\n\n1. Verify the IP addresses are bound to the server or instance.\n\n1. During cluster setup, turn on **Enable public endpoints support** in the **Cluster** screen's **Configuration** section.\n\n    \n\n    If this setting is not enabled when the cluster is created, databases on the cluster support only a single endpoint.\n\n1. Select **Next** to proceed to **Node** configuration.\n\n1. In the **Network configuration** section:\n\n    1. Configure the machine's public IP address for external traffic.\n\n    1. Configure the private IP address for both internal and external traffic so it can be used for private database endpoints.\n\nAfter cluster creation, both sets of endpoints are available for databases in the cluster.\n\nTo view and copy public and private endpoints for a database in the cluster, see the database's **Configuration \u003e General** section.\n\n\n",
