IP (IPv4) addresses added not working

[CBG]

Hi,

I got a cPanel VPS through Vultr and got an extra IP (IPv4), however the IP is not working.

I have done the following:

• Added the IP through WHM, while setting up WHM.
  
• Installed CSF
• Changed the SSH port
• Changed it from DHPC to Static.
• Rebooted.

So then I tried:

• Pinging the IP from my computer - Didn't work
  
• Pinging the IP from the server via SSH - Did work.
• Deleted and re-added the IP - Didn't work
  
• Ordered another IP from Vultr and added it - Didn't resolve, same as the other one.

The 2 extra IPs have the Netmask of 255.255.252.0 and 255.255.254.0
But I set it to 255.255.255.0 as that is what the cPanel Docs said.

Hi,

I have got them working, now I completely reinstalled the VPS, then I changed eth0 to static from DHCP.
Went through the basic setup of WHM, then after added the IPs.
