# vpn renumber

Assignes new IP addresses to VPNs from the VPN address pool.

## Syntax

```
vpn renumber
```

## Syntax Description

This command has no arguments.

## Defaults

## Usage Guidelines

This command renumbers the [remote-ip](/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/vpn-peer/vpn-peer-remote-ip.md) values on all VPNs, assigning new IP addresses from the pool of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses defined with the [vpn server pool](/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/vpn-server/vpn-server-pool.md) command.

This command is rarely needed. **It is designed exclusively for use on systems that utilize IslandExpress to create VPN peers**. In general, it should not be used on systems with non-Island VPN peers. Standard WireGuard does not provide a method to communcate a desired remote IP address to a peer, so renumbering may cause a loss of connectivity to non-Island peers until the peers are reconfigured with their new IP addresses.

## Examples

```
vpn renumber
```

## 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.islandrouter.com/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/vpn-renumber.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.
