Failover IPs are IP addresses you can order and move from one server to another (even across data centers), without changing your whole configuration. If your server is out of order, you can move the failover IP to your fallback server, and keep your services available without any downtime. Failover IPs can also be used as additional IP addresses for a single server, for example, if you want to give each website in Plesk its IP. Another functionality of Failover IPs is to create virtual machines on your Dedibox.
To complete the actions presented below, you must have:
Failover IPs are associated with the Dedibox product and cannot be moved to a different product category. For example, a failover IP can be moved to another Dedibox server, but it cannot be transferred to other service types like Load Balancers or Elastic Metal servers.
Click Server in your Dedibox console to display a list of your dedicated servers. Then click on the server you want to configure.
On the server’s status page, click Failover in the menu on the left.
The list of your existing failover IPs displays. Drag and drop your failover IP from the list on the left to the ID of the server you want to use as destination host.
Click Update once you finish the failover IP destination configuration.
The failover IP will be routed to the new destination host within a few minutes.
