This article will guide you on the how to set up a static IP configuration in #Debian 10. Using either the command line or #GUI method, you can easily configure the static IP address on your system.
The ifconfig utility is used to change the IP address of a network interface.
To change your #IP address on #Linux, use the “ifconfig” command followed by the name of your network interface and the new IP address to be changed on your computer.
To assign the subnet #mask, you can either add a “netmask” clause followed by the subnet mask or use the CIDR notation directly.
To Configure static IP address on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server:
- Edit the /network/interfaces file. sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces.
- Restart the networking service (or reboot) Once you are confident the change has been made, and if you don't want to reboot you can just restart the networking service.
