I have a vps hosted by OVH with CentOS installed. I purchased 9 failover IPs and configured them as eth0:1-eth0:8. After I edited the config files to what was recommended by OVH as:

DEVICE="eth0:0"

BOOTPROTO="static"

IPADDR="IP.FAIL.OVER"

NETMASK="255.255.255.255"

ONBOOT="yes"

BROADCAST="IP.FAIL.OVER"

The machine hung up and kicked me out. I restarted the vps via the control panel and now the machine isn't pingable, can't SSH to it, and the failover IPs aren't pingable either.

Any idea where I may have gone wrong?

  • I would place failover IPs in dummy interfaces. It depends on the solution, the need, and the setup of the infra-structure. – Rui F Ribeiro Nov 03 '16 at 10:46
