Hello,
I have just bought an additional IP address for my VPS. Debian 12 is installed on it.
I am trying to follow OVH guide but it is not clear: https://help.ovhcloud.com/csm/en-vps-network-ipaliasing?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0047585#ubuntu-2004-debian-12
- My VPS primary IP address: 213.186.111.222
- My newly bought additional address: 51.75.88.22
* I did write 'network: {config: disabled}' into /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg
**First tentative**
1. I modified /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml to get this contant:
# This file is generated from information provided by the datasource. Changes
# to it will not persist across an instance reboot. To disable cloud-init's
# network configuration capabilities, write a file
# /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg with the following:
# network: {config: disabled}

2. I launched: `sudo netplan try`
