HOW TO SETUP STATIC IP ADDRESS ON RASPBERRY PI
Configuring Network Settings to setup a static IP address on Raspberry Pi
Dynamic IP address can change each time you reboot or restart the services, not ideal if you are running Raspberry Pi headless, so you need to keep checking the IP address and connect.
Static IP address is somewhat permanent, it won’t change. So you know your IP address.
To setup a static IP address,
1. Check your IP
- sudo ifconfig
pi@raspberrypi:~$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:E5:E0:11
inet addr:192.168.0.106 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fee5:e011/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:104 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:80 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:23642 (23.0 KiB) TX bytes:10224 (9.9 KiB)
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:42 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:42 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:3687 (3.6 KiB) TX bytes:3687 (3.6 KiB)
2. Edit interfaces
- sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
GNU nano 2.8.5 File: /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface usb0 inet dhcp
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Edit the line that starts with iface eth0 inet.
For static IP settings, change the line to:
- iface eth0 inet static
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.150
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
For static IP ,
- The value of the subnet mask must be the same for all devices on the network.
- The value of the IP address must be unique for each device on the network.
- Set netmask to use the same network mask value, 255.255.255.0.
- Set address to an unused IP address, between 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.254.
