Linode Forum :: Configuring Linode Private IPs in Webmin

Hi,

I have setup two linode servers and want to use one as a web server, the other as DB. They are both in the same data centre. Linode has assigned me with private IPs on both servers. I have installed webmin on both of them and need to configure their private IPs on each instance.

I have attempted to do this already but cannot ping the servers from one another using their private IPs, I can only do it with the public ones. Of course I restarted several times.

In Webmin, I have the option of adding an interface, a virtual interface or a bridge. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Did you reboot after adding the private IP in the linode control panel? If yes, check firewalls

What does the IP configuration for eth0 look like?

Code:

$ ip addr show dev eth0

I meant from the command line... webmin is going to tell you what it thinks is going on, and this is a situation where you're going to want to see what's actually going on.

It looks like it thinks you're set for DHCP, though... if you're attaching multiple IPv4 addresses, you'll need to specify the IP addressing information manually.

Do you mean I need to specify the public or private IP addresses manually...or both?

Sorry, I think this is the info you asked for: # ip addr show dev eth0 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether f2:3c:91:df:ff:61 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 178.79.183.16/24 brd 178.79.183.255 scope global eth0 inet6 fe80::f03c:91ff:fedf:ff61/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Do you mean I need to specify the public or private IP addresses manually...or both?

If you want to use private you have to setup both the public and private as static. There's an example in this library page: http://library.linode.com/networking/co ... interfaces
