Second IP for Hosts Interface

jqueiroz

Hello,

I have a situation where I would like to add a second IPv4 address to the management interface of a host.

I am installing a host that will be used in another location and I would like to add the address of that location to the management interface before shipping the machine there.

Is it possible to do this, or should I continue using the current procedure (making the necessary configurations and change the address shortly before shutting down the machine and packing it for transport)?

there is a nuance between secondary IP and secondary MANAGEMENT IP
if you have multiple NICS, you could add & configure the destination site IP on it, but it is not flagged management yet.

once the server gets on the new site, you could access web ui by this IP address (or SSH)
and then either go to web console/xs server or SSH and do the necessary to change management to the good PIF/IP ?
