## Syntax Description

<table><thead><tr><th width="203">Keyword</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>no</code></td><td>(Optional) Removes the specified IP address assignment from the peer.</td></tr><tr><td>id</td><td>The VPN identifier.

## Defaults

If this command is not given, and a vpn server pool is definied, the next available IPv4 and IPv6 address from the pool is assigned to the peer.

## Usage Guidelines

This command defines the IP address of a VPN peer. For remote Island peers, the specified address will be communicated to the peer and used as the peer's local VPN address unless overridden using the [vpn peer local-ip](/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/vpn-peer/vpn-peer-local-ip.md) command on the peer.

For non-Island peers, the local Island will install a route to this address over the VPN unless one or more routes are defined with the [vpn peer route](/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/vpn-peer/vpn-peer-route.md) command.

If this command is not specified for a peer, and a pool of addresses has been configured using the [vpn server pool](/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/vpn-server/vpn-server-pool.md) command, the next available address from the pool will be assigned to the peer.

If `v4-none` or `v6-none` is specified, no IPv4 or IPv6 address (respectively) will be assigned to the peer.

This command may be specified twice per peer, once for a remote IPv4 address and once for a remote IPv6 address.&#x20;

If a VPN exists with the specified identifier, the existing VPN will be modified; otherwise, a new VPN with the specified identifier will be created. If "auto" is specified for the identifier, a new VPN will be created using the next available identifier.

## Examples

```
ip peer 8 remote-ip 10.41.17.2
ip peer 8 remote-ip 2001:db8:7c00::2
```

## 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.islandrouter.com/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/vpn-peer/vpn-peer-remote-ip.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.
