Issue This IP address is not configured properly

[miki07]

Hi! I just bought a new VPS from Contabo with and additional IP address. When I try to add the additional IP address, I get this error:

This IP address is not configured properly. Repair

I hit "Repair", and nothing happens. I hit "Reread IP", the error is still there.

I tried to reinstall the VPS, the error is still there.

Their support said everything should be fine, asked for the login details, but never reached back to me with a solution.

The "ip a" command, shows only the server's default IP address and nothing more. Plesk "ipmanage" shows the second IP, but with state 1.

What can I do?

Hello,
did have some more information?
Plesk-Version, OS-Version?

alternatively try it with the CLI:

 plesk bin ipmanage --create YOURIPADRESS -type shared -mask 255.255.255.0 -interface "eth0"

where:

• YOURIPADRESS - an IP address that is going to be added
• shared - a type of an IP address in Plesk (shared/exclusive)
• 255.255.255.0 (default value) - a network mask
• "eth0" - a network interface name
  

Kind regards,

Hello, my version is 18.0.37, my OS is Ubuntu 20.04.

I guess it's netplan does not apply at startup. I "fix it" by applying netplan after each reboot.

A friend of mine has the same error, on a different server, but hosted at Contabo as mine.

You IP might be unreachable. Make sure you have configured Default Gateway to attached this IP.

sudo nano /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

uncomment the 4 related ipv6 lines

Then run

sudo netplan apply

Then in ui re-read ip
