How do you add extra IP to OVH?
Hi,
I want to use the extra IPv4 (which is in Germany) as an Alias IP configuration on my server and use the additional IP as a failover of my primary IP (RBX France).
I have followed this:
But still, the second IP is now showing when I check with:
IP a
What am I missing or perhaps doing wrong?

i don't think you're going to be able to add a german ip to your french server
What exactly are you trying to achieve?
Doing as described in manual will add the new IP to the same interface, eno1 or whatever it was. Yes,
ip awill show both IPs and server will respond topingrequests on both IPs.It is possible to choose geolocation of an additional IP. Internally it will belong to the same region as the server, but whois/geoip will indicate it as something else.
I have followed the manual and want to use the secondary IP to the second nameserver I have set. Also, put some sites on this new IP.
It's still not showing in my server when I do.
root@max:~# ip aIt only shows the first IPv4 and IPv6 which came with the server.
Judging from your link, you have
netplan.Just to make sure -
INTERFACE_NAMEin new file should be the same as in the original, same as the interface you see withip a.Did
sudo netplan trycomplain about anything except ofgateway6? It might also offer you to pressEnterto apply changes immediately.ovh allows to select from many geos when ordering IPs
if they're actually geo'd there according to whatever checker/tool, that's up to luck
