Configuring Additional IP Addresses Print

  • 3

If you have ordered additional IP addresses then you need to configure them on your server. Please configure all of your additional IPs at the time they are assigned to you. 

Start by creating the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 and the contents will read:
DEVICE=eth0:0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=YOUR NEW IP ADDRESS
NETMASK=255.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes

Then, as root, run
/sbin/ifup eth0:0

Repeat that process for each additional IP address you have to configure, incrementing the :0 number each time. For instance, your second additional IP would be in the "ifcfg-eth0:1" file and the DEVICE= line would read "DEVICE=eth0:1". Your third additional IP would be eth0:2 and so on.
