# Edit the IP Address of an IP Failover Group

IONOS CLOUD IP Failover: edit the IP address of an existing 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
