Cannot add additional public IPs

Submitted by jtarnoff on Tue, 12/21/2010 - 12:45

Hi,

I just did a new install on my machine which has 1 private IP and 5 public IPs. While VirtualMin does respond on the public IPs, they do not show up in the VirtualMin interface. I've tried to add them unsuccessfully.

I'd like to add all 5, with 1 of them being shared and available for all virtual hosts, and the rest will be dedicated and reserved for use with sites/virtual hosts that need SSL.

I cannot seem to find the documentation on how to properly add these IPs. Could you please advise on how to go about this?

Thank you!

For the shared IP, you can tell Virtualmin to use it as the default for most domains at System Settings -> Virtualmin Configuration -> Networking settings -> Default virtual server IP address. In fact, if this is the IP of eth0 then that step isn't even needed.

For the dedicated IPs, you can enter one when creating a new domain on the Create Virtual Server page, in the "IP address and forwarding" section in the "Network interface" field. Just select "virtual with IP" and enter the address. If it is already active and pingable on your system, check the "Already active" box.
