How To Assign Static IP Address In Ubuntu Linux

by Aun on August 22, 2009

Linux

By Default Ubuntu uses DHCP settings to attain an IP Address for the system. However in many cases you may need to use a static IP address , if your Ubuntu system is using DHCP and you want to assign it a Static IP address then its not a big deal to configure it. Simply go through the following easy steps to achieve it.

First of all, right click the network icon located in the top panel and select Edit Connections.

The Network Connection window will be displayed, now click the Add button to add a new network connection, and then go directly to the IPV4 settings tab.

Network-Connections

Choose the Manual option from the Method drop down menu.

Manual-Network-Connections

Now click Add and then enter the IP address, Netmask and Gateway information in the Addresses section.

Static-IP-Address

Click the Apply button to complete the configuration. Now you can use this newly created network connection which will have a static IP address. Enjoy!

Which IP address and information? Do you just make these up?

  It has to be an IP address not given out to other devices on the network, preferably below the starting DHCP IP address range. Usually internal IP address start with 192.168.1.* Simply enter the Netmask information the example provides and leave the gateways at their defaults. Works for me.
ASK

You’d need to know that info regardless of what OS you are using. Typically, private home networks use 192.168.1.*, where * is whatever you want or need it to be. If you don’t understand the reason to set a static IP, you’re probably better off leaving it as DHCP.

255.255.255.0 is fine for most configurations. The Gateway is whatever your router is, often 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.99.
