# Edit the IP Address of an IP Failover Group

Modifying an IP failover group lets you update the IP address assigned to the group. You can select a new IP address from the available pool or reserve a new one, and optionally set it as the primary IP address for the group.

1\. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **Virtual Data Centers**.

2\. Select the data center and a LAN to modify an IP failover group within it.

3\. In the Inspector pane, select the **IP Failover** tab.

4\. Click the IP address of the required IP failover group.

5\. The properties of the selected group are displayed.

6\. To change the IP address, click **Change**.

7\. In the dialog box that appears, select a new IP address for **Available IP**.

**(*****Optional*****)** If no IP address is available, select the **+** icon to reserve static IP addresses.

8\. Select **Primary IP** to set the IP failover as the primary IP address. Selecting this option will override the existing DHCP or CRIP setups.

9\. Select **Change IP** to confirm your changes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/network-services/vdc-networking/ip-failover/how-tos/edit-ip-failover-group.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
