today i bought 4 ips from OVH for my dedicated server and i want to attach them . The documentation says to add a new auto eth0:0
in to the network/interface but i want to make sure that this is accurate and dont mess anything up!
This is from ovh's docs:
auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address IP.DE.FAIL.OVER
netmask 255.255.255.255
broadcast IP.DE.FAIL.OVER
So, for 4 ips i will do eth0:0
eth0:1
eth0:2
eth0:3
and nothing else? Also my current ip has some stuff which i dont really know and dont match with the docs example.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 198.27.67.144
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 198.27.67.0
broadcast 198.27.67.255
gateway 198.27.67.254
- The adress is the public ip. I get that.
- The netmask OVH says to leave it as it is.
- I dont know what is the
network
- what is the broadcast
- and what is the gateaway?
Also ca i use only the options from OVH's docs? Thanks for your time :)
Oh and the OS is Ubuntu 14.04
