I have an extra IP address available to my server, and so I need to assign it in the interfaces file. At the moment, I've got this:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa
netmask 255.255.254.0
gateway bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb
dns-nameservers ccc.ccc.ccc.ccc ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd eee.eee.eee.eee
dns-search vps-number.com
What do I add/assign my new IP address (fff.fff.fff.fff
)? And how do I then restart it to accept the new configuration?
