How to add an additional IP on your Windows server Print

This article explains how to add a second IP address to your Windows Server. For this example, we used a Windows Server 2019. While the steps may vary slightly for other Windows Server versions, this guide should still be applicable.

Add a second IP

1. Go to start and open Control Panel.
2. Go to Network and Internet
   
   
3. Select Network and Sharing Center
   
   
   
   
4. You will see the active network connection. Select this active network adapter. In our example this is Onboard LAN 2.
   
   
   
   
5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 and go to Properties.
   
   
   
   
6. Once opened you will see the main IP settings. On the bottom right select Advanced.
7. In the first section select Add.
   
   
   
   
8. Now you can assign an extra IP and the subnet mask. The subnet mask will usually be 255.255.255.0 unless specified.
9. To save the settings click OK on all screens that were opened during these steps. You now have successfully configured your second IP.
