Add additional NIC to your VPS

​

What is a secondary network interface?

• EDIS Global’s VPS comes with a single network interface (ethernet device) by default.
• You can purchase a second network interface as part of EDIS Global Private VLAN Option to enhance your VPS’ networking capabilities.
• This interface is independent and can be configured with a private or public IP, depending on your needs.
• The secondary network interface will become available to every VPS in a particular server location after you purchase the Private VLAN Option.

​

How to order a secondary network interface

1. Go to the order page: Purchase Private VLAN Option
2. Select the server location: Make sure to select the correct location where your VPS is hosted.
3. Complete the purchase: Follow the checkout process and pay the invoice.
4. Provisioning: After payment, we assign secondary network interfaces to all VPS in the selected server location (power-cycle your VPS after order delivery)

​

How to configure the secondary network interface

​

For Linux

1. Your main interface is typically eth0. The second interface will appear as eth1.
2. Restart your VPS to detect the new interface.
3. Assign an IP address to eth1, such as 192.168.1.10 or any private/public IP you have.

​

For Windows

1. After rebooting your VPS, Windows will detect the new network interface.
2. Configure the new interface with the required IP settings.
