How to configure a failover IP on a Scaleway Dedibox

Reviewed on November 05, 2025

Note

You can now manage resources from both the Scaleway and the Dedibox consoles. However, ordering Dedibox servers from the Scaleway console is only possible if you have added a SEPA payment method in your Dedibox console. If you do not complete this step, you can only use the Dedibox console to place orders (see the Dedibox documentation).

Note

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.

Before you start
