Configuring additional IP on OVH in Debian and Windows systems

Configuring extra IP on OVH in Debian

The setup process includes the following steps:

1. Disable the ‘automatic network configuration’ feature
2. Modify the network setup file
3. Restart

Disable the ‘automatic network configuration’ feature

1. Using a text editor, access the below file location:

sudo nano /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg

2. Include the below line. Save it and exit.

network: {config: disabled}

3. By creating this configuration file, we can stop automatic updates to the network setup.

Modify the network setup file

1. Confirm the name of the network using the code:

ip a

2. Use the following command to edit the network setup file:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces.d/50-cloud-init

3. Now include the below lines:

auto NETWORK_INTERFACE:ID
iface NETWORK_INTERFACE:ID inet static
address ADDITIONAL_IP
netmask 255.255.255.255

Restart

To implement the changes, use the following code:

sudo systemctl restart networking

Configuring extra IP on OVH in the Windows server

The setup process includes the following steps:

1. Check the network setup
2. Modify the IPv4 Properties
3. Include the Extra IP in the “Advanced TCP/IP Settings”
4. Launch the network interface again
5. Verify the updated network setup

Check the network setup

1. Go to the Start menu >> Run.

2. Use cmd and press OK to open the command line application.

3. Use ipconfig at the prompt to get the current IP setup.

Modify the IPv4 Properties

1. Modify the IP properties to a static setup by opening the Properties of Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) after opening the adapter settings in the Windows control panel.

2. Select “Use the following IP address” in the IPv4 Properties window. Enter the IP address which we have retrieved in the first step, then click on Advanced.

Include the Extra IP in the “Advanced TCP/IP Settings”

1. Click Add… under “IP addresses” in the new window. A subnet mask and an extra IP address should be entered.

2. Click “Add” to confirm it.

Launch the network interface again

1. Right-click the network interface in the control panel’s Network Connections section and then choose Disable.

2. Right-click it once more, choose Enable, and then click Restart.

Verify the updated network setup

Type ipconfig into the cmd once it is open. The new extra IP address must now be included in the settings.
