IP Addresses Assign

post
https://api.linode.com/v4/networking/ips/assign

Assign multiple IPv4 addresses and/or IPv6 ranges to multiple Linodes in one Region. This allows swapping, shuffling, or otherwise reorganizing IPs to your Linodes.

The following restrictions apply:

  • All Linodes involved must have at least one public IPv4 address after assignment.
  • Linodes may have no more than one assigned private IPv4 address.
  • Linodes may have no more than one assigned IPv6 range.
  • Shared IP addresses cannot be swapped between Linodes.

Open a Support Ticket to request additional IPv4 addresses or IPv6 ranges beyond standard account limits.

Note: Removing an IP address that has been set as a Managed Linode's ssh.ip causes the Managed Linode's SSH access settings to reset to their default values. To view and configure Managed Linode SSH settings, use the following commands:
