Quick guide Debian/Ubuntu Setting up a IPv4 address subsequently on an IPv6 server
Preparation
Get IPv4 data from the provider (for a vs2-free under Contract->Server->IPv4-Addresses)
You need:
Main IPv4 setup
- Open the file
- Search for Line
- Add the following lines below
- Replace
Setting up additional IPv4
- Search for the interface matching the MAC-Address, enter the command
and search for
link/ether [MAC-Address]
the line above begins with the appropriate interface, e.g. ethv0 or ethv1
- Open the file
- Replace
Preparation
Get IPv4 data from the provider (for a vs2-free under Contract->Server->IPv4-Addresses)
You need:
- IP-Address
- Net mask
- Gateway
- MAC-Address (only for additional ips)
Main IPv4 setup
- Log in to the server via SSH
- Create a backup copy of the file
Code:
cp -a /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.backup
Code:
/etc/network/interfaces- Search for Line
Code:
iface lo inet loopback
Code:
iface eth0 inet static
address [IP-Address]
netmask [Net mask]
up ip route add [Gateway] dev eth0
up ip route add default via [Gateway]
down ip route del default via [Gateway]
down ip route del [Gateway] dev eth0- [IP-Address] with IP-Address
- [Net mask] with Net mask
- [Gateway] with Gateway
- Save the file
- Restart the server
Setting up additional IPv4
- Search for the interface matching the MAC-Address, enter the command
Code:
ip addrand search for
link/ether [MAC-Address]
the line above begins with the appropriate interface, e.g. ethv0 or ethv1
- Make a note of the interface
- Make a backup copy of the file
Code:
cp -a /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.backup
Code:
/etc/network/interfaces- Go to the end of the file
- Add the following lines below
Code:
iface [Interface] inet static
address [IP-Address]
netmask [Net mask]- [IP-Address] with IP-Address
- [Net mask] with Net mask
- [Interface] through the interface matching the MAC-Address
- Save the file
- Restart the server
