[Help] Setting up new IPs

mawr

I've been trying to setup an IP to my dedicated server. I have access to 13 IPs, only 1 is set up, and I tried using this tutorial: http://morecode.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/adding-an-ip-address-to-debianubuntu-linux/

I literally copied and pasted and only replaced the XX's, is there anything else I have to change? I can't connect to the new IP through SSH yet so I guess I'm not doing it right

The netmask should be same as first ip. You change that?

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

auto eth0:n
iface eth0:n inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

The netmask shouldn't be the same as his first IP. If he has his own VLAN, then with 13 usable IPs I'm guessing he has a /28 in which case his netmask would be 255.255.255.240. If he's not on his own VLAN, then the host will need to provide the netmask.

What do you mean by my own VLAN? Thanks!

It's a dedi from CVPS that was /28
