IP and Network Configuration

01

Finding Your Server IP

From the Client Panel

Your server IP is visible in the main panel tab for your server.

From SSH

bash
# IP of all interfaces
ip addr show

# Just the main IP (quick method)
hostname -I | awk '{print $1}'

# Public IP (how the outside sees it)
curl -s ifconfig.me
02

Static Network Configuration

Debian / Ubuntu (Netplan: Ubuntu 18.04+)

Configuration file: /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

yaml
network:
  version: 2
  ethernets:
    eth0:
      addresses:
        - 192.168.1.100/24
      routes:
        - to: default
          via: 192.168.1.1
      nameservers:
        addresses: [8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1]

Apply the changes:

bash
netplan apply

Debian (ifupdown: earlier versions)

File: /etc/network/interfaces

auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1

Restart networking:

bash
systemctl restart networking

CentOS / AlmaLinux / Rocky Linux

File: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.1.100 PREFIX=24 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 DNS1=8.8.8.8 DNS2=1.1.1.1 ONBOOT=yes

Restart networking:

bash
systemctl restart NetworkManager
03

Verify Connectivity

bash
# Test internet connection
ping -c 4 8.8.8.8

# Test DNS resolution
ping -c 4 google.com

# Trace the network path
traceroute 8.8.8.8

# Verify open listening ports
ss -tlnp
04

Adding a Secondary IP (Alias)

If you have an additional IP to add to the server:

bash
# Temporary (lost on reboot)
ip addr add 192.168.1.101/24 dev eth0

# Permanent: add to Netplan or interfaces file
05

Network Interface Name

On modern servers, the interface might be called eth0, ens3, enp1s0, or something else. To see it:

bash
ip link show
