DCImanager 6 User Documentation

Assigning IP addresses

You are reading the documentation of ISPsystem - a software developer. It contains general information about the platform you are working with.

If your question relates to access to the service, administrator contacts, tariffs, etc., contact your hosting provider - the company providing your services.

If you don't know who your hosting provider is, you can identify it by domain name or server IP address through the service https://www.whois.com/whois/

When a server is provisioned, it is assigned an IPv4 address. This address is the main address and is used to perform operations on the server. DCImanager 6 administrator can assign additional addresses to the server. The server can only be assigned one main IP address of IPv4 and IPv6 format each.

In addition to individual addresses, administrator can assign an IPv4 or IPv6 subnet to the server. In this case, the first subnet address can be used as the main address.

IP addresses are added to the server when the operating system is reinstalled.

If your server has more than one IP address assigned, you can choose which address will be used as the main one. To choose IP address, enter Servers → select the server →  menu → Server parameters Settings → choose Main IPv4 address and/or Main IPv4 address Save.
