What happens when you bind an IP address to a VPS?

Question

Computer networks

Hello. Tell me what happens in the server configs when you bind an IP address to it?
I'm talking about how the correspondence between the IP address and the virtual machine is established, and what changes in the server configs.

Answer 1

Most likely, nothing happens in the configs. The address is issued by a DHCP server in most cases.
PS What kind of "physical" machine are we talking about, if the question is about VPS?

Answer 2

The IP address is written on the network interface.

Answer 3

Nothing happens,
you do it all by yourself
