Vultr Multiple IPs | All About

In the world of cloud hosting, IPv6 is the best option when it comes to IP addressing. It offers a vast pool of addresses that greatly benefit server connectivity.

Today, we are going to take a look at how to set up multiple IPv6 addresses on Vultr and maximize IPv6 configuration for optimal performance.

How to set up multiple IPv6 Addresses on Vultr

1. First, we have to allocate a /64 subnet. IPv6 addresses are made of eight 16-bit words, making a /64 subnet 64 bits in length.
2. Then, head to the server settings on Vultr by going to the IPv6 tab under the Network section in the Vultr control panel.
3. Next, click the Add IPv6 button and enter the IPv6 address we want to add.
4. Now, it is time to add the /64 subnet to the address we just created. So, click the Add Subnet button. Then, enter the subnet address in the Subnet field and click Add.
5. Furthermore, we have to manually configure the network on our server to make the IPv6 address functional. We can add addresses, netmasks, etc to the `/etc/network/interface` file.
6. Then, we have to restart the networking service.

Understanding IPv6 Addressing Capacity

IPv6 is known for its large address space. Here are some key points:

• IPv6 employs a 128-bit address set, resulting in a total of 340 undecillion unique IP addresses.
• Unlike IPv4, IPv6 mainly uses unicast and multicast addresses.
• IPv6’s default prefix size is a /64, which is commonly used for most network segments.

How to add Multiple IPs to the Vultr Account

1. First, create a new instance with the number of IPs we want.
2. Then, head to the Vultr control panel.
3. Now, we can easily add additional IP addresses to our account as needed.

At the end of the day, IPv6 offers a large pool of IP addresses, and with the right configuration, we can use all of its capabilities on our Vultr server.
