How do I add private networking to my server?
If private networking is enabled, by default when your server is provisioned, private networking will be enabled. However, if you self-install an OS or self-reinstall an OS, you will need to manually enable private networking.
Get your private networking details from the My NodeSpace portal. Your private network address will be a subnet that starts with 10.90 if you're in our Lenior, NC data center. For example: 10.90.125.16/28. You will need the following details:
- Subnet mask
- Gateway
- Assigned IP
Please do not change your server's IP to another IP from the subnet! If you wish to change the IP, please open a ticket with Support first!
Adding your private network access will depend on which OS you are using.
Windows Server
- Login to Windows with an administrator account.
- Open your network settings and go to your device adapters. You will have two adapters. Select the adapter that does not have a valid IP config.
- Edit the TCP/IP IPv4 properties with the following values:
- IP address: the assigned IP address from My NodeSpace.
- Netmask: 255.255.255.240 (or in some cases 255.255.255.248). If your network has a /28 use the former, if your network has a /29 use the latter.
- Gateway: Leave this blank! Do not enter the gateway! You will lose connection to your server and you will need to use IPMI or contact Support to regain access.
- DNS: (optional) set to our internal DNS servers (be sure to clear any DNS servers on your public interface!)
- Open a command prompt with administrator permissions.
- Run the following command:
route -p ADD 10.0.0.0 MASK 255.0.0.0 <GATEWAY>
For example, you would enter:route -p ADD 10.0.0.0 MASK 255.0.0.0 10.90.1.254
Hint: This route is valid for Lenior, NC.
If you did everything correctly, you should have access to your private subnet.
