How to Set Up Ubuntu with a Static IP
/etc/network/interfaces
For the first ethernet adapter (eth0), you would update the line(s) under auto eth0 as follows.
(BTW, the auto means start the network adapter interface at boot.)
vi /etc/network/interfaces
1. For DHCP
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
2. For Static
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.232
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.2.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255
gateway 192.168.2.129
dns-nameservers 192.168.2.1 123.45.67.123 123.55.67.123
To Update the Hostname:
vi /etc/hostname
To Update the DNS (Domain) Suffix and Search Suffix:
vi /etc/resolv.conf
Note: resolv.conf gets overwritten upon reboot by DHCP server as design if DHCP and not static.
