It looks like setting up a static IP address in Ubuntu 14.04
has changed since 12.04/10.04. Here
are some notes on how to set your static IP address in Ubuntu 14.04.
First update your interfaces file
> sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
|
My internal network is the generic 192.168.0.X. I want to set this static IP address to
192.168.0.198. I updated the interfaces
file to
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#
#
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.198
netmask
255.255.255.0
broadcast
192.168.1.255
gateway
192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
|
The dns-nameservers is now required. I set it to googles dns server.
Save the file.
This is totally new to me
I found this site which discusses the resolv.conf
information
Edit the /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base file
> sudo vi
/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
|
And place the following in it
dns-nameservers
8.8.8.8
|
Update resolvconf
> sudo resolvconf -u
|
The old
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
not longer works.
Looking at this post http://askubuntu.com/questions/441619/how-to-successfully-restart-a-network-without-reboot-over-ssh
[2]
To reload the settings run this
> sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0
|
Now check the updated information
> ifconfig -a
|
