Asked by eb05f79f75e84c24ad9a82fa78
I was setting up HAPRoxy load balancer with a failover on my machine(X.X.X.106). I see the floating IP assigned to it is (Y.Y.Y.191). However I don’t see it in the list of IPs listed using ip a or ifconfig due to which I am unable to bind the floating IP address to my HAProxy load balancer.

floating ip address not prsent.
Although i am able to ssh using the floating IP address

Hello,
For this you can use the Droplet’s anchor IP instead as described here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/floating-ips/how-to/find-anchor-ips/
The “anchor IP” is the local private IP address that the floating IP will bind to when attached to a DigitalOcean server. It is simply an alias for the regular eth0 address, implemented at the hypervisor level.
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
