add dedicated IP to costumer il WHM



Hello,

I have logged in to the server and completed my initial investigation. Here is what I found:

That IP address just needed to be initially added in WHM >> Home >> IP Functions >> Add a New IP Address. I went ahead and did this but as a caveat I used a common netmask of /24 :

=-=
[23:53:22] [9359233] [~]$ ip a |grep inet\ |grep -v 127.0.0
    inet ****************** brd ****************** scope global ens160
    inet ******************/24 brd ****************** scope global ens160:cp1
    inet ******************/24 brd 1****************** scope global secondary ens160:cp2
    inet ******************/24 brd ****************** scope global ens192 =-=

If that is not the correct netmask as given by the provider be sure to delete the address and re-add it with the correct mask.

All that is left to be done is to decide the best time for downtime as there will be some while the DNS change to that IP propagates across the global Internet. It is roughly an hour or so and often sooner but it could take up to 48 hours so please be forewarned.

Once a maintenance window is determined, navigate to WHM » Home »Account Functions »Change Site’s IP Address , select the isallinc account, click "Change" then choose the .104 address from the dropdown menu and click "Change" again.

Note again the warning on that last page, "Warning: Changing a site's IP address may cause it to appear down from some locations until the DNS has propagated to all nameservers on the Internet."
