How to set up IPv6 failover with OVH

If you are looking for more information about the IPv6 failover offered by OVH you have come to the right place.

This feature helps customers to set up redundant IPv6 addresses on their server, that can automatically take over in case of a network or server failure. Furthermore, it helps ensure continuity of service and minimize downtime.

Additionally, we can configure our server to use a primary IPv6 address and a secondary failover IPv6 address with the UPv6 failover feature.

Our experts would like to point out that the failover address is only used if the primary address becomes unavailable. For instance, during a network or server failure.

The OVH offers failover IPv6 addresses that are geographically redundant. In other words, they are hosted in different locations to ensure high availability and continuity of service.

We can also configure the failover IPv6 address to automatically switch over to the secondary address in the event of a failure. Alternatively, we can configure it to require manual intervention to switch over.

IPv6 failover comes in handy for businesses and organizations that need high availability and continuity of service for critical applications or services.

We can easily set up an IPv6 failover with OVH with these steps:

1. First, log in to the OVH Manager.
2. Then, head to the Dedicated section and choose the server for which we want to set up the IPv6 failover.
3. Next, click the IP tab and scroll down to the IPv6 Failover section. Then click the Add a Failover IPv6 button.
4. At this point, we have to follow the prompts to set up the failover IPv6 address.

After the above steps, we can configure our server to use it as a redundant address.
