Ron Stone f125a8b892 Remove spurious escapes (r8,dsR8)
This change addresses a long-standing issue in rST documentation imported from XML.
That import process added backslash escapes in front of various characters. The three
most common being '(', ')', and '_'.
These instances are removed.

===========================================
Add a Static IP Address to a Data Interface
===========================================
You can add static IP addresses to a data interface using the web
administration interface or the CLI.
.. rubric:: |context|
For VXLAN connectivity between VMs, you must add appropriate endpoint IP
addresses to the compute node interfaces. You can add individual static
addresses, or you can assign addresses from a pool associated with the
data interface. For more about using address pools, see :ref:`Using IP
Address Pools for Data Interfaces <using-ip-address-pools-for-data-interfaces>`.
To add a static IP address using the |os-prod-hor|, refer to the
following steps. To use the CLI, see :ref:`Managing Data Interface Static IP
Addresses Using the CLI <managing-data-interface-static-ip-addresses-using-the-cli>`.
.. rubric:: |prereq|
To make interface changes, you must lock the compute host first.
.. rubric:: |proc|
.. _adding-a-static-ip-address-to-a-data-interface-steps-zkx-d1h-hr:
#. Lock the compute host.
#. Set the interface to support an IPv4 or IPv6 address, or both.
#. Select **Admin** \> **Platform** \> **Host Inventory** to open the Host
Inventory page.
#. Select the **Host** tab, and then double-click the compute host to open
the Host Detail page.
#. Select the **Interfaces** tab and click **Edit Interface** for the data
interface you want to edit.
#. In the Edit Interface dialog box, set the **IPv4 Addressing Mode** or
the **IPv6 Addressing Mode** to **Static**.

#. Add an IPv4 or IPv6 address to the interface.
#. On the Host Detail page, click the **Name** of the interface to open
the Interface Detail page.
.. image:: /shared/figures/datanet/jow1443041105867.png
#. Click **Create Address** to open the Create Address dialog box.
.. image:: /shared/figures/datanet/jow1442607685238.png
#. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address and netmask (for example,
192.168.1.3/24), and then click **Create Address**.
The new address is added to the **Address List**.
#. Unlock the compute node and wait for it to become available.
