Sometimes it’s faster for serevr administrator to manage your server through SSH instead of logging into WHM and using the graphical interface.
You can use the whmapi1 command-line tool to complete WHM tasks using SSH faster and quicker.
Please use the following whmapi1 command-line to add IP address :
For example we need to add IP with details :
IP : 111.222.33.44
Subnetmask 255.255.254.0
Please login to your serevr using SSH
# ssh root@serevr.ip.address -p 22
Use following whmapi1command to add IP address (111.222.33.44)
# whmapi1 addips ips=111.222.33.44 netmask=255.255.254.0
Once IP address has been added to server, make sure that its responding and you are able to ping it.
# ping 111.222.33.44
Assign newly added IP address to cPanel account as dedicated IP.
For example assign dedicated IP to cpuser
IP : 111.222.33.44
cPanel username : cpuser
whmapi1 setsiteip ip=111.222.33.44 user=cpuser
To verify if IP (111.222.33.44) address is assigned to user (cpuser)
whmapi1 get_shared_ip user=cpuser
To remove IP using whmapi1
# whmapi1 delip ip=111.222.33.44
