Server Network

Network

The Network tab is where you can view and manage both Fixed and Failover IP blocks assigned to your server.

A Fixed IP block is permanently bound to a single server and cannot be moved. These addresses remain attached to the same machine at all times and are typically used for services that do not require high availability or mobility.

A Failover IP block, on the other hand, is designed for flexibility. These IPs can be attached to multiple servers simultaneously when used with a Virtual Rack. This allows you to move services between servers, build high‑availability clusters, or perform maintenance without changing your public IP addresses. When a failover block is reassigned, routing updates are applied automatically to ensure traffic reaches the correct server.

Security

Edge Firewall

The Edge Firewall sits at the boundary of the data centre where your server is hosted. Its purpose is to protect and control incoming traffic before it reaches your infrastructure. By configuring rules on the Edge Firewall, you can block or filter connections at the network perimeter, preventing unwanted traffic from ever reaching your servers. The Edge firewall deals with incoming public traffic only.
