Thread: Set Up **STATIC** IP using CLI or Network Settings

jaunty 9.04

1 of machines have use static ip: 10.21.1.16 /24 address not negotiable.

cannot set static ip , have machine visible rest of network (and vice versa)

• using system --> preferences --> network connections, can set ipv4
  ip 10.21.1.16
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  gateway 10.21.1.1
  
  however, static ip not persistent, i.e, when reboot, system reverts dhcp & dynamic ip: 10.1.1.136
  news when ip dynamic (assigned via dhcp), computer can see rest of network , rest of network can see it.
  
  or
  
• from cli can set
  
  1. /etc/resolv.conf
     nameserver 10.1.1.10
  2. /etc/network/interfaces
     address 10.21.1.16
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     network 10.21.1.0 /24
     broadcast 10.21.1.255
     gateway 10.21.1.1
     
  
  setting persistent
  ...
  computer cannot 'see' rest of network, , rest of network cannot 'see' it

have worst of both worlds, , have choose between seeing network or having static ip have use.

need machine

1. with static ip 10.21.1.16 /24
2. that can interoperate in network

ideas? keep in mind

• dhcp not option computer in question.
• other subnets include 10.1.xxx.xxx, 10.10.xxx.xxx, 10.20.xxx.xxx, 10.30.xxx.xxx, 10.40.xxx.xxx
• there 2400+ devices in system,and along fine: see , talk each other.
• there 15 or other devices fixed ips. work fine. windows machines.

if router @ 10.21.1.1 has path 10.1.1.0/24 subnet, may able reach it. network manager (on 9.04) should let configure static address - otherwise, can configure in /etc/network/interfaces (but may need manually edit /etc/resolv.conf well).
