can't add IP to VPS from IP pool, with IP's already assigned to another VPS

Hi,

I just picked up something strange.

When VPS1 has an IP 192.168.1.12, which is part of 192.168.1.10-192.168.1.20, then I can't assign any IP's from that range to another VPS once CloudMin reach's 192.168.1.12 itself.

For example, VPS2 has been assigned IP's 192.168.1.11 & 192.168.1.11. Since 192.168.1.12 has already been assigned to VPS1, VPS2 should now get 192.168.1.14. But it doesn't, instead I get the following error:

Failed to save network interface : SIOCGIFADDR: Cannot assign requested address SIOCSIFBROADCAST: Cannot assign requested address SIOCSIFBRDADDR: Cannot assign requested address SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

Status:

What IP does Cloudmin assign to VPS2 in this case?

Even though it fails to activate the IP (which may be due to it being on a different subnet?) , you should still see the new IP on the Network Interfaces page.

It doesn't assign an IP, that's the point.

The 1st 2 IP's were assigned successfully, but then I can't assign any more IP's. All IP's are on the same subnet

That error message doesn't indicate a failure to assign an IP though - rather, it means that the IP couldn't be activated on the VPS.

If you do this on a VPS that is shut down, does the same thing happen?
