Additional IP networks (blocks)

Additional IP networks can be ordered for a dedicated server in the customer portal (see the "Additional networks" block on a server's details page).

Public and private IPv4 networks of size up to /26 are available in the portal. Bigger networks can be requested via technical support. Public IPv6 networks are available in chunks of /64.

Use cases

The primary use case for additional networks is server virtualization, when a single bare metal server hosts multiple virtual machines that require their own IP addresses. An additional network of a bare metal server can also be used in a Level 2 domain as long as the bare metal server is a member of such an L2 domain.

Pricing

Private networks/blocks are free of charge. Public blocks are billed per IP address with prices available in the portal.

Reserved IP addresses

Each IP network has a number of reserved (unusable for a client) IP addresses. The number is 5 for locations with network redundancy (see Locations), and is 3 for locations with reduced network redundancy.

For a location with network redundancy, reserved IPs are (with IPv4 /29 as an example):

For a location with reduced network redundancy, reserved IPs are (with IPv4 /29 as an example):
