+= Specifying a floating IP address in the Ingress Controller
+
+By default, a floating IP address gets randomly assigned to your {product-title} cluster on {rh-openstack-first} upon deployment. This floating IP address is associated with your Ingress port.
+
+You might want to pre-create a floating IP address before updating your DNS records and cluster deployment. In this situation, you can define a floating IP address to the Ingress Controller. You can do this regardless of whether you are using Octavia or a user-managed cluster.
+
+.Procedure
+
+. Create the Ingress Controller custom resource (CR) file with the floating IPs:
++
+.Example Ingress config `sample-ingress.yaml`
+[source,yaml]
+----
+apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
+kind: IngressController
+metadata:
+  namespace: openshift-ingress-operator
+  name: <name> <1>
+spec:
+  domain: <domain> <2>
+  endpointPublishingStrategy:
+    type: LoadBalancerService
+    loadBalancer:
+      scope: External <3>
+      providerParameters:
+        type: OpenStack
+        openstack:
+          floatingIP: <ingress_port_IP> <4>
+----
+<1> The name of your Ingress Controller. If you are using the default Ingress Controller, the value for this field is `default`.
+<2> The DNS name serviced by the Ingress Controller.
+<3> You must set the scope to `External` to use a floating IP address.
+<4> The floating IP address associated with the port your Ingress Controller is listening on.
+
+. Apply the CR file by running the following command:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ oc apply -f sample-ingress.yaml
+----
+
+. Update your DNS records with the Ingress Controller endpoint:
++
+[source,text]
+----
+*.apps.<name>.<domain>. IN A <ingress_port_IP>
+----
+
+. Continue with creating your {product-title} cluster.
+
+.Verification
+
+* Confirm that the load balancer was successfully provisioned by checking the `IngressController` conditions using the following command:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ oc get ingresscontroller -n openshift-ingress-operator <name> -o jsonpath="{.status.conditions}" | yq -PC
