OVH Additional IP Proxmox | Guide

OVH additional IP Proxmox refers to configuring and using additional IP addresses provided by OVH within a Proxmox VE setup.

We can accomplish this with these steps:

  1. First, we have to contact OVH and order the additional IP addresses we need. OVH will offer us the needed details for these IP addresses.
  2. Next, we have to log in to the Proxmox host server via SSH or a direct console connection. We have to configure the network interfaces to use the additional IP addresses. This usually involves changing the network configuration file to add the IP addresses and the network settings.
  3. Once we change the configuration, it is time to restart the network service or reboot the server.
  4. Next, we must access the Proxmox web interface using a web browser.
  5. Then, head to the “Datacenter” section and choose our Proxmox node.
  6. After that, go to the “Network” tab and click “Create” to add a new “Linux Bridge.”
  7. Now, we have to configure the bridge settings. This includes the bridge name and the network interface.
  8. Furthermore, we have to assign the additional IP address to the bridge. This can be done via the web interface or by editing the /etc/network/interfaces file again.
  9. Then, we have to create VMs or containers and assign these additional IP addresses to the individual instances as needed. This allows each virtual machine or container to have its own public IP address.
  10. After that, we have to configure the networking settings to use the assigned additional IP address inside each VM or container. This can be done by modifying the network configuration files within the guest operating system.
  11. Finally, we have to test connectivity from the host, VMs, and containers to make sure that the additional IP addresses are working as expected.
