Hi all, I have purchased a second IP address for my dedicated server running CentOS7. I’m just having a bit of job getting it set up and was hoping for some advice. So, I have two virtual servers on there, initially both share the same IP address (same IP address as the webmin/virtualmin interface). I have the second IP address now and want to assign it to one of the virtual servers. So far I have done the following: Webmin -\> Network Configuration -\> Network Interface -\> Edited EM1 (Ethernet), and added the new IP address as a Virtual Interface. I then opened Server Configuration and then Change IP Address against the Virtual Server that I want to use this IP. In the Use Dedicated Address field, i entered the IP address and ticked ‘Already Active’. I thought that would be all I needed to do, but when I go to the IP address, it doesn’t load and says This Site can’t be reached. One thing I noticed is that when I go back to network interface, and then EM1, there is no mention of the virtual interface I added. So i’m not sure if this is an issue. Can anyone shed any light? Much appreciated. Thanks, Craig ---
