Set Up IPv6
Upon request we provide you with a /48 IPv6 prefix for all our Root Dedicated Server products. You will receive one prefix per server and be able to choose the preferred addresses out of this prefix. Both the IPv6 prefix and the default gateway are shown in . If no gateway is listed, use fe80::1.
Configure Additional IP Addresses
If your server needs to be reachable on more than one IPv4 address, you can add additional addresses to your existing network interface.
Set Up Source-Based Routing
If your server has a second IP address from a different subnet delivered over a tagged VLAN, source-based routing ensures that traffic originating from that IP is routed through the correct gateway. Without source-based routing, all outgoing traffic uses the default gateway, causing asymmetric routing, which can lead to problems with firewalls and services.
Set Up a VLAN for Internal Networking
If you have multiple root servers in the same room and want to exchange private/sensitive traffic between them, VLAN is your option and a good alternative to a VPN.
