Configure IPv4 sharing

post https://api.linode.com//networking/ipv4/share

This operation is equivalent to Share IP addresses.

Configure shared IPs.

IP sharing allows IP address reassignment (also referred to as IP failover) from one Linode to another if the primary Linode becomes unresponsive. This means that requests to the primary Linode's IP address can be automatically rerouted to secondary Linodes at the configured shared IP addresses.

IP failover requires configuration of a BGP based failover service within the internal system of the primary Linode.
