In this guide we will walk through the process on how to enable a 10GB connection on a IONOS Server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before we begin you must be made aware of the following limitations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In our example we will have setup 2 XXL Dedicated Servers within the same contract running CentOS 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1). First login to the Cloud Panel and select your first server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2). Locate “Data transfer rate up to” and click the blue edit button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3). Select “10Gbps” and click confirm changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4). Restart the server by going to Actions > Restart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5). Repeat steps 1-4 for the 2nd server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6). Go to Network > Private Networks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7). Create a Private Network and assign both of your servers to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8). Go back to Infrastructure > Servers and select the 1st server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9). Make a note of the VLAN value shown next to Private Networks. In our example our VLAN is 3553 and our private IP range is 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10). Login with SSH to the 1st server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11). vi \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/ifcfg-eth0.3553 (replace 3553 in the filename with your actual VLAN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DEVICE=eth0.3553\nBOOTPROTO=none\nONBOOT=yes\nIPADDR=192.168.1.1\nNETMASK=255.255.255.0\nUSERCTL=no\nNETWORK=192.168.1.0\nVLAN=yes<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nReplace DEVICE=eth0.3553 with your actual VLAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12). ifup eth0.3553<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13). Repeat steps 10-12 on the 2nd server. In our example we have setup the 2nd server as IPADDR=192.168.1.2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have now configured 10GB on 2 servers. Be sure to connect using the Private IP and not the Public IP in order to get the best connection speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below is a sample output from a iperf3 test confirming the 10GB speed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
