How to install an IPv4 address on my Raspian

Problem:

I have ordered an additional IPv4 address for my Raspberry Pi, however I can not reach it after delivery.

Solution:
It is a normal behaviour, IKOULA provides you an additional IPv4 address, but does not configure it on your server:

• You have to connect via IPv6 : https://en-wiki.ikoula.com/en/Connect_to_a_server_in_IPv6_via_Putty
• Edit the network configuration file and and add this block (to modify with your IP, including the gateway line)

nano /etc/network/interfaces

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 178.170.Y.X
netmask 24
gateway 178.170.Y.1
dns-nameservers 213.246.33.144

• Reboot the network service

systemctl restart networking.service

• Check the IP statue by executing:

ip addr show

• You should see:

eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
   link/ether dc:a6:32:5e:b8:f3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
   inet 178.170.10.14/24 brd 178.170.10.255 scope global eth0:1
   inet6 2a00:c70:130:1::110/64 scope global
      valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

• You are now able to connect to your server via IPv4

/!\ There may be an error message indicating that the Eth0 interface is not created, because it has not fully restarted. After rebooting, this message should be gone. /!\
