Overview of Managing IP Addresses With InterWorx Control Panel

InterWorx Control Panel provides a simple-to-use interface for managing the IP address(es) on an InterWorx Control Panel System. From the IP Management screen, you can make an IP address available to the system, InterWorx Control Panel, and/or resellers; remove an IP address from the server; and add one or a range of IP addresses.

1. Click the Server menu item if it is not already open.

2. Click the IP Management menu item.

3. Locate the Add IP Addresses section.

4. Type the IP address in the IP Range Start field.

5. The IP Range End field will auto-populate with the same IP address.

6. Enter the netmask in the Netmask field.

7. Select the device you wish to add this IP address to from the Device drop-down list. eth0 is the primary NIC.

8. Select Shared or Dedicated in the Type field. If an IP address is shared, multiple SiteWorx accounts will be able to share that IP address.
