IP Addresses Share
https://api.linode.com/v4beta/networking/ips/share
Configure shared IPs.
IP sharing allows IP address reassignment (also referred to as IP failover) from one Linode to another if the primary Linode becomes unresponsive. This means that requests to the primary Linode's IP address can be automatically rerouted to secondary Linodes at the configured shared IP addresses.
IP failover requires configuration of a failover service (such as Keepalived) within the internal system of the primary Linode.
Request Body Schema
A list of secondary Linode IPs to share with the primary Linode.
- Can include both IPv4 addresses and IPv6 ranges (omit /56 and /64 prefix lengths)
- Can include both private and public IPv4 addresses.
- You must have access to all of these addresses and they must be in the same Region as the primary Linode.
- Enter an empty array to remove all shared IP addresses.
The ID of the primary Linode that the addresses will be shared with.
