It takes however long your linodes take to shutdown and boot up.

this is true but how much time is needed to switch the IP from the two node?

seconds, minutes or hours?

I would say less than 2 minutes for your linodes to reboot after making the necessary changes in the Linode Manager. Though I haven't timed it myself. I'm sure your millage will very.

It's instant..hence the time required is how long it takes you to shutdown and boot up.
