Introduction: An Additional/Floating IP is a crucial component for ensuring high availability and failover for your server. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to assign a Floating IP to your server via SSH.

Prerequisites: Before you begin, ensure you have:

  1. Access to your server via SSH.
  2. An Additional/Floating IP address ready to be assigned.

Steps to assign an Additional/Floating IP via SSH:

Step 1: Access the Server via SSH, connect to your server via SSH using your preferred SSH client. Replace your-server-ip with your server's IP address, You can Also access via Putty, check this article from here.

Step 2: Create and Edit the Configuration File Create a configuration file for the Additional/Floating IP. In this example, we'll use "60-addtioanl-ip.yaml," but you can choose any name you prefer.
nano /etc/netplan/60-addtioanl-ip.yaml
Step 3: Configure the Additional/Floating IP Paste the following configuration into the editor. Replace your.addtioanl.ing.ip with your actual Additional/Floating IP address.

For IPv4:

network:
   version: 2
   renderer: networkd
   ethernets:
     eth0:
       addresses:
       - your.addtioanl.ing.ip/32

For IPv6:

network:
   version: 2
   renderer: networkd
   ethernets:
     eth0:
       addresses:
       - your.addtioanl.ing.ip/64

Step 4: Restart the Network Caution: Restarting the network will briefly reset your network connection. Proceed with this step when you can afford a brief interruption.

sudo netplan apply

Conclusion: By following these steps, you've successfully assigned an Additional/Floating IP to your server via SSH. This provides flexibility and redundancy to your server configuration, ensuring it remains accessible even in case of hardware failures or planned maintenance.
