OVH vRack communication between 2 servers?
Hi,
We have been lost in the OVH documentation which is pretty vague about vRack 1.5. Before we start messing with the network/interfaces, I thought to ask it here first. I have contacted their support but no response as usual.
- Do we need to purchase the IP blocks in order to communicate between two servers through private network?
- According to their documentation they have this:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 172.16.0.1
netmask 255.240.0.0
broadcast 172.31.255.255
post-up /sbin/ip addr add 172.16.2.100/12 dev eth1
pre-down /sbin/ip addr del 172.16.2.100/12 dev eth1
Is not the address, netmask and broadcast should be changed?
We have added both our dedicated server into the vRack through their Control panel.
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.

You don't need to purchase IP blocks, you can use any private IP you require it's your own VLAN.
You will obviously need to use a different IP at each end, however if you use the same /24 you should have no problems pinging each other from the get go.
Also make sure it's the correct interface name some of their servers have more than two NIC's.
