Network configuration
---------------------

The IPv4 configuration will be automatically configured. Only IPv6 needs to be configured additionally.

The usable IP addresses and necessary information about the network (such as gateway address) can be found in our customer portal:

https://my.virtualhosts.de/cloud/ => Control => Server Information => IPv4/IPv6 Settings

To change the network configuration, please edit the file /etc/network/interfaces as in the example below:

.. code-block:: console
      
    auto net0
    iface net0 inet dhcp
    pre-up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/net0/accept_dad
    iface net0 inet6 static
    address 2a02:e00:fff0:13x::1/64
    iface net0 inet6 static
    address 2a02:e00:fff0:13x::2/64
    ...
    iface net0 inet6 static
    address 2a02:e00:fff0:13x::a/64
        up ip -6 route add 2a02:e00:fffx::1 dev net0
        up ip -6 route add default via 2a02:e00:fffx::1
