Jack Wallen walks you through the process of giving a standard user sudo privileges so they can set a static IP address on Debian server.

Debian is one of the most reliable operating systems on the planet. Its slower release cycle means each iteration gets plenty of attention before each release. And Debian isn’t just for desktops. In fact, Debian has been deployed as a server for years.

The one thing many new admins might find with deploying Debian as a server is that setting an IP address isn’t exactly as intuitive as other distributions. RHEL-based Linux distributions have the nmtui ncurses tools for configuring network connections, and Ubuntu-based distributions have netplan. With Debian, setting a static IP address is a bit more old-school, so I’m going to show you how it’s done.

What you need to setup an IP address in a Debian server

To set the IP address on Debian server, you’ll need a running instance of the OS and either a user with sudo privileges or access to the root user account. I’ll show you first how to give a standard user sudo privileges.

How to give a standard user sudo privileges in a Debian server

Let’s create a new user first. I’ll demonstrate by creating the user olivia (you can name the user whatever you like). To do that, log into Debian server as the root user and issue the command:

adduser olivia

Once you’ve added the new user, add that user to the sudo group with:

sudo usermod -aG sudo olivia

Exit from the root user and log in with the new user account.

How to set a static IP address in a Debian server

The first thing you must do is locate the name of your network device. For that, issue the command:

ip -c link show

You should at least see two devices, lo (for loopback) and another named device (such as enp0s3).

Next, let’s back up the current network configuration file with the command:

sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces ~/

Open the configuration file for editing with the command:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

If you find nano isn’t installed, add it with the command:

sudo apt-get install nano -y

With the interfaces file open for editing, you should see a DHCP configuration that looks like this:

# The primary network interface

allow-hotplug enp0s3

iface enp0s3 inet dhcp

Comment that block out so it looks like this:

# allow-hotplug enp0s3

# iface enp0s3 inet dhcp

Now, we can add the necessary configuration for a static IP address. Let’s configure enp0s3 to use the address 192.168.1.97, with a gateway of 192.168.1.1, and a DNS nameserver of 1.1.1.1. That configuration will look like this:

auto enp0s3

iface enp0s3 inet static

address 192.168.1.97

netmask 255.255.255.0

gateway 192.168.1.1

dns-domain example.com

dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1

Make sure to edit the above configuration to match your network scheme. Save and close the file.

Finally, restart the networking service with the command:

sudo systemctl restart networking

Make sure the networking configuration is correct, by issuing the command:

You should see the static IP address you configured. You’re good to go.

And that’s all there is to configure a static IP address in Debian server. Of course, if you installed your instance of Debian server with a desktop environment, you could simply use the GUI tool for this process. But for those who prefer to keep their servers sans GUI, this is the way to go.

How to Configure Static IP Address on Debian 12

To configure a static IP address on Debian 12, you can follow these steps:

Step 1 : Open a terminal window.

Step 2 : Open the network configuration file for editing using a text editor like nano or vi. In this example, we'll use nano:

Step 3 : Locate the network interface you want to configure with a static IP address. It is usually named "eth0" for Ethernet connections or "wlan0" for wireless connections. You might have a different interface name depending on your setup.

Step 4 : Replace the existing configuration with the following lines:

Replace <interface_name> with the actual name of your network interface, <desired_ip_address> with the IP address you want to assign to your Debian machine, <netmask_address> with the subnet mask, and <default_gateway_address> with the IP address of your router or gateway.

For example, the configuration for a static IP address of "192.168.1.100" with a subnet mask of "255.255.255.0" and a default gateway of "192.168.1.1" on the "eth0" interface would look like this:

Step 5 : Save the changes by pressing Ctrl+O, then exit the text editor by pressing Ctrl+X.

Step 6 : Restart the networking service to apply the new configuration:

Note: If you are using NetworkManager instead of the traditional networking service, you can restart it using the following command:

Step 7 : Verify the changes by running the following command:

Replace <interface_name> with the actual name of your network interface. You should see the configured static IP address in the output.

That's it! You have successfully configured a static IP address on Debian 12.

How to Assign Static IP Address on Debian 12

In this blog post, we will show you how to assign static ip address on Debian 12.

In the world of Linux, Debian remains one of the most popular distributions, known for its stability and versatility. One essential aspect of managing a Linux system is configuring network settings. Whether you’re setting up a server or just want a consistent IP address for your desktop, assigning a static IP address on Debian 12 can be a crucial task.

Table of Contents

Prerequisites

Pre-Installed Debian 12
Sudo User with admin rights

There are different methods through we can assign static ip address on Debian 12.

Method1: Assign Static IP Address on Debian 12 Using GUI

Click on Wired Settings and then we will get the following window,

Note: To disable IPv6, go to IPv6 tab and choose ‘ Disable ’ option

Click on IPv4 Tab

IPv4-Automatic-Wired-Settings-GUI-Debian12

Above window shows that Automatic DHCP is enabled, so to Assign Static IP choose ‘ Manual’ and then specify the IP details like IP address, netmask, gateway and dns server IP.

Important Note: To Specify the dns server IP first disable the automatic dns IP by toggling it.

Click on Apply to save the changes.

Now, disable and enable the interface by toggling it so that new IP address is mapped to the Interface.

Now again click on wired settings to verify whether the new static ip address is assigned or not.

Perfect, above confirms that new static IP address is assigned successfully.

Method2: Assign Static IP Address on Debian 12 From Command Line

Open the terminal, check your current network configuration. You can do this by running the following ip command ,

This will display a list of network interfaces on your system. Note down the name of the interface you want to assign a static IP address to (typically, it’s ‘ enp0s3 ‘ for Ethernet).

Next, run nmcli command to get connection name,

Once we get the connection name, run below nmcli command to assign static ipv4 address,

$ nmcli con mod ‘connection-name’ ipv4.address <IP-Address>

Set the gateway by running below

Change Configuration from DHCP to Manual , so that IP will be static and persistent, run

Set the DNS server IP by running below command,

Disable and enable the connection so that above changes come into the effect.

Assign-Static-IP-Address-Debian12-Nmcli-Command

Now run IP Command to check IP address,

Output of above commands would look like below:

Perfect, above output confirms that static IP address has been assigned successfully on enp0s3 interface.

Assign Static IP Address on Minimal Installed Debian 12

Whenever we install minimal Debian 12 then we will have only the CLI console and don’t have any nmcli utility. So, to assin static ip address we must edit the file ‘ /etc/network/interfaces ’.

Edit the file and set the static IP address as shown below,

Replace the line ‘ allow-htplug enp0s3 ’ with ‘ auto enp0s3 ‘ and change dhcp parameter to static . Below is my sample file, change interface name and ip details as per your environment.

save & close the file.

To make above changes into the effect the restart the network service

Now, run ip command to verify the ip address,

That’s all from this post. Please do share your feedback and queries in below comments section.

Assigning a static IP address on Debian 12 is a straightforward process that can greatly benefit your network stability and ease of access. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can ensure that your Debian 12 system always has a consistent IP address, making it easier to manage and access your resources. Whether you’re configuring a server or just prefer having a stable address for your desktop, Debian 12 provides a user-friendly environment for all your networking needs.

How to Set Up a Static IP Address on Debian 12 Linux

A static IP address is already understandable from its name that this IP address will not change. The static IP address is the fixed address that is assigned to a particular network port.

If one wants to connect to the machine using a remote connection, a static IP address is required for it. If one is connected using the dynamic IP address, then the connection will be interrupted again and again.

Due to this, it is necessary to set up a static IP address on Debian 12, especially when one wants to connect the computer remotely. In this post, the methods for setting up a static IP address on Debian 12 have been explained.

What are the Methods to Set Up a Static IP Address on Debian 12?

One can set up the static IP address on Debian 12 by using any of the below-mentioned methods:

Using the /etc/network/interfaces
Using the Network Manager
Using the GUI Method

Method 1: Set Up a Static IP Address on Debian 12 Using the /etc/network/interfaces

The first method of setting up the static IP address on Debian 12 is by editing the /etc/network/interfaces file with the text editor. To use the /etc/network/interfaces, follow the next-mentioned steps.

Step 1: Open the Terminal

First, open the terminal to run the commands for setting up the static IP address:

Step 2: Create a Backup

Create a backup of the original /etc/network/interfaces by copying its contents:

Step 3: Open the /etc/network/interfaces File

Using the nano or any other text editor, open the /etc/network/interfaces file:

Step 4: Set Up the Static IP Address

Now find the name of the network interface of which the static IP address is supposed to be set up and assign the IP address:

After making changes, save the file and close it by using the shortcuts CTRL+S and CTRL+X , respectively.

Step 5: Restart the Network

The final step of this method is to restart the network:

Method 2: Set Up a Static IP Address on Debian 12 Using the Network Manager

Another method to set up the static IP address on Debian 12 is by using the network manager. For this, follow the steps mentioned below.

Step 1: Use the nmcli Command

With the help of the nmcli command utility, set up the static IP address. To do so, follow the below-mentioned general syntax:

In the above command, change the “Your Connection Name” with your own values. For example, in our case, the above command will be used like this:

If the name of the “ connection name ” is not known to you, then use the command:

Step 2: Reload the NetworkManager

To save the changes, reload the network manager with the command:

Method 3: Set Up a Static IP Address on Debian 12 Using the GUI

The last but easiest method of setting up the static IP Address on Debian 12 is by using the GUI. The graphical user interface method is to understand, simply open the “ Settings ” of the Debian 12:

Click on “ Network ” and then choose the “ gear icon ” for the network connection:

Now click on “ IPv4 ”, then change the address to your own choice, and finally click on the “ Apply ” button:

The static IP address will be set up successfully.

How to Verify the Changes to Static IP Address on Debian 12?

To verify the changes to the static IP address on Debian 12, use the command:

These are the three methods of setting up the static IP address on Debian 12.

On Debian 12, one can use the “ Network Manager ” or change the “ /etc/network/interfaces ” file to configure the static IP address. Also, access Settings to set the IPv4 address. This post has explained all the mentioned methods with a step-by-step guide.

How-To Geek

How to use the ip command on linux.

It is time to break up with ifconfig.

Quick Links

How the ip command works, using ip with addresses, display only ipv4 or ipv6 addresses, display information for a single interface, adding an ip address, deleting an ip address, using ip with network interfaces, starting and stopping links, using ip with routes, display information for a single route, adding a route, taken route, not taken root, key takeaways.

The ip command has replaced the older ifconfig command in modern versions of Linux.
The ip command allows you to configure IP addresses, network interfaces, and routing rules on the fly without rebooting.
Run "ip addr" in the Terminal to get your PC's local IP address.

You can configure IP addresses, network interfaces, and routing rules on the fly with the Linux ip command. We'll show you how you can use this modern replacement of the classic (and now deprecated) ifconfig .

With the ip command, you can adjust the way a Linux computer handles IP addresses, network interfaces controllers (NICs), and routing rules . The changes also take immediate effect — you don't have to reboot. The ip command can do a lot more than this, but we'll focus on the most common uses in this article.

The ip command has many subcommands, each of which works on a type of object, such as IP addresses and routes. There are, in turn, many options for each of these objects. It's this richness of functionality that gives the ip command the granularity you need to perform what can be delicate tasks. This isn't ax work — it calls for a set of scalpels.

We'll look at the following objects:

Address : IP addresses and ranges.
Link : Network interfaces, such as wired connections and Wi-Fi adapters.
Route : The rules that manage the routing of traffic sent to addresses via interfaces ( links ).

Obviously, you first have to know the settings you're dealing with. To discover which IP addresses your computer has, you use the ip command with the object address . The default action is show , which lists the IP addresses. You can also omit show and abbreviate address as "addr" or even "a."

The following commands are all equivalent:

ip address show

ip addr show

We see two IP addresses, along with a lot of other information. IP addresses are associated with network interface controllers (NICs). The ip command tries to be helpful and provides a bunch of information about the interface, too.

The first IP address is the (internal) loopback address used to communicate within the computer. The second is the actual (external) IP address the computer has on the local area network (LAN).

Let's break down all the information we received:

lo : The network interface name as a string.
<LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP>: This is a loopback interface. It's UP , meaning it's operational. The physical networking layer (layer one) is also up.
mtu 65536: The maximum transfer unit. This is the size of the largest chunk of data this interface can transmit.
qdisc noqueue: A qdisc is a queuing mechanism. It schedules the transmission of packets. There are different queuing techniques called disciplines. The noqueue discipline means "send instantly, don't queue." This is the default qdisc discipline for virtual devices, such as the loopback address.
state UNKNOWN: This can be DOWN (the network interface is not operational), UNKNOWN (the network interface is operational but nothing is connected), or UP (the network is operational and there is a connection).
group default: Interfaces can be grouped logically. The default is to place them all in a group called "default."
qlen 1000: The maximum length of the transmission queue.
link/loopback: The media access control (MAC) address of the interface.
inet 127.0.0.1/8: The IP version 4 address. The part of the address after the forward-slash ( / ) is Classless Inter-Domain Routing notation (CIDR) representing the subnet mask. It indicates how many leading contiguous bits are set to one in the subnet mask. The value of eight means eight bits. Eight bits set to one represents 255 in binary, so the subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
scope host: The IP address scope. This IP address is only valid inside the computer (the "host").
lo: The interface with which this IP address is associated.
valid_lft: Valid lifetime. For an IP version 4 IP address allocated by Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), this is the length of time the IP address is considered valid and able to make and accept connection requests.
preferred_lft: Preferred lifetime. For an IP version 4 IP address allocated by DHCP, this is the amount of time the IP address can be used with no restrictions. This should never be larger than the valid_lft value.
inet6 : The IP version 6 address, scope , valid_lft , and preferred_lft .

The physical interface is more interesting, as we'll show below:

enp0s3: The network interface name as a string. The "en" stands for ethernet, "p0" is the bus number of the ethernet card, and "s3" is the slot number.
<BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>: This interface supports broad- and multicasting , and the interface is UP (operational and connected). The hardware layer of the network (layer one) is also UP .
mtu 1500: The maximum transfer unit this interface supports.
qdisc fq_codel: The scheduler is using a discipline called "Fair Queuing, Controlled Delay." It's designed to provide a fair share of the bandwidth to all the traffic flows that use the queue.
state UP: The interface is operational and connected.
group default: This interface is in the "default" interface group.
link/ether: The MAC address of the interface.
inet 192.168.4.26/24: The IP version 4 address. The "/24" tells us there are 24 contiguous leading bits set to one in the subnet mask. That's three groups of eight bits. An eight-bit binary number equates to 255; therefore, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
brd 192.168.4.255: The broadcast address for this subnet.
scope global: The IP address is valid everywhere on this network.
dynamic: The IP address is lost when the interface goes down.
noprefixroute: Do not create a route in the route table when this IP address is added. Someone has to add a route manually if he wants to use one with this IP address. Likewise, if this IP address is deleted, don't look for a route to delete.
enp0s3: The interface with which this IP address is associated.
valid_lft: Valid lifetime. The time the IP address will be considered valid; 86,240 seconds is 23 hours and 57 minutes.
preferred_lft: Preferred lifetime. The time the IP address will operate without any restrictions.
inet6: The IP version 6 address, scope , valid_lft , and preferred_lft .

If you want to limit the output to the IP version 4 addresses, you can use the -4 option, as follows:

If you want to limit the output to the IP version 6 addresses, you can use the -6 option, as follows:

If you want to see the IP address information for a single interface, you can use the show and dev options, and name the interface, as shown below:

ip addr show dev lo

ip addr show dev enp0s3

You can also use the -4 or -6 flag to further refine the output so you only see that in which you're interested.

If you want to see the IP version 4 information related to the addresses on interface enp0s3 , type the following command:

ip -4 addr show dev enp0s3

You can use the add and dev options to add an IP address to an interface. You just have to tell the ip command which IP address to add, and to which interface to add it.

We're going to add the IP address 192.168.4.44 to the enp0s3 interface. We also have to provide the CIDR notation for the subnet mask.

We type the following:

sudo ip addr add 192.168.4.44/24 dev enp0s3

We type the following to take another look at the IP version 4 IP addresses on this interface:

The new IP address is present on this network interface. We jump on another computer and use the following command to see if we can ping the new IP address :

ping 192.168.4.44

The IP address responds and sends back acknowledgments to the pings. Our new IP address is up and running after one simple ip command.

To delete an IP address, the command is almost the same as the one to add one, except you replace add with del , as shown below:

sudo ip addr del 192.168.4.44/24 dev enp0s3

If we type the following to check, we see the new IP address has been deleted:

You use the link object to inspect and work with network interfaces. Type the following command to see the interfaces installed on your computer:

ip link show

To see a single network interface, just add its name to the command, as shown below:

ip link show enp0s3

You can use the set option with either up or down to stop or start a network interface option. You also have to use sudo , as shown below:

sudo ip link set enp0s3 down

We type the following to take a look at the network interface:

The state of the network interface is DOWN . We can use the up option to restart a network interface, as shown below:

sudo ip link set enp0s3 up

We type the following to do another quick check on the state of the network interface:

The network interface was restarted, and the state is shown as UP .

With the route object, you can inspect and manipulate routes. Routes define to where network traffic to different IP addresses is forwarded, and through which network interface.

If the destination computer or device shares a network with the sending computer, the sending computer can forward the packet directly to it.

However, if the destination device is not directly connected, the sending computer forwards the packet to the default router. The router then decides where to send the packet.

To see the routes defined on your computer, type the following command:

Let's take a look at the info we received:

default: The default rule. This route is used if none of the other rules match what's being sent.
via 192.168.4.1: Routes the packets via the device at 192.168.4.1. This is the IP address of the default router on this network.
dev enp0s3: Use this network interface to send the packets to the router.
proto dhcp: The routing protocol identifier. DHCP means the routes will be determined dynamically.
metric 100: An indication of the preference of the route compared to others. Routes with lower metrics are preferentially used over those with higher metrics. You can use this to give preference to a wired network interface over a Wi-Fi one.

The second route governs traffic to the IP range of 169.254.0.0/16. This is a zero-configuration network , which means it tries to self-configure for intranet communication. However, you can't use it to send packets outside the immediate network.

The principle behind zero-configuration networks is they don't rely on DHCP and other services being present and active. They only need to see TCP/IP in order to self-identify to each of the other devices on the network.

Let's take a look:

169.254.0.0/16: The range of IP addresses this routing rule governs. If the computer communicates on this IP range, this rule cuts in.
dev enp0s3: The network interface the traffic governed by this route will use.
scope link : The scope is link , which means the scope is limited to the network to which this computer is directly connected.
metric 1000 : This is a high metric and isn't a preferred route.

The third route governs traffic to the IP address range of 192.168.4.0/24. This is the IP address range of the local network to which this computer is connected. It's for communication across, but within, that network.

Let's break it down:

192.168.4.1/24: The range of IP addresses this routing rule governs. If the computer communicates within this IP range, this rule triggers and controls the packet routing.
dev enp0s3: The interface through which this route will send packets.
proto kernel: The route created by the kernel during auto-configuration.
scope link: The scope is link , which means the scope is limited to the immediate network to which this computer is connected.
src 192.168.4.26: The IP address from which packets sent by this route originate.
metric 100: This low metric indicates a preferred route.

If you want to focus on the details of a particular route, you can add the list option and IP address range of the route to the command as follows:

ip route list 192.168.4.0/24

We just added a new network interface card to this computer. We type the following and see it's showing up as enp0s8 :

We'll add a new route to the computer to use this new interface. First, we type the following to associate an IP address with the interface:

sudo ip addr add 192.168.121.1/24 dev enp0s8

A default route using the existing IP address is added to the new interface. We use the delete option, as shown below, to delete the route and provide its details:

sudo ip route delete default via 192.168.4.1 dev enp0s8

We'll now use the add option to add our new route. The new interface will handle network traffic in the 192.168.121.0/24 IP address range. We'll give it a metric of 100; because it will be the only route handling this traffic, the metric is pretty much academic.

sudo ip route add 192.168.121.0/24 dev enp0s8 metric 100

Now, we type the following to see what it gives us:

Our new route is now in place. However, we still have the 192.168.4.0/24 route that points to interface enp0s8 — we type the following to remove it:

sudo ip route delete 192.168.4.0/24 dev enp0s8

We should now have a new route that points all traffic destined for IP range 192.168.121.0/24 through interface enp0s8 . It should also be the only route that uses our new interface.

We type the following to confirm:

The great thing about these commands is they're not permanent. If you want to clear them, just reboot your system. This means you can experiment with them until they work the way you want. And it's a very good thing if you make a terrible mess of your system — a simple reboot will restore order.

On the other hand, if you want the changes to be permanent, you have to do some more work. Exactly what varies depending on the distribution family, but they all involve changing config files.

This way, though, you can test-drive commands before you make anything permanent.

This wikiHow teaches you how to assign a new IP address to your computer when using Linux. Doing so can prevent connection issues for the item in question.

Press Ctrl + Alt + T or Ctrl + Alt + F1 (if you're on a Mac, substitute the ⌘ Command key for Ctrl .
Click the text box at the top or bottom of the screen if possible.
Open the Menu window and find the "Terminal" application, then click on it.

A "root" account is the Linux equivalent of an Administrator account on a Windows or Mac computer.

Step 4 Bring up a list of your current Internet items.

The top item should be your current router or Ethernet connection. This item's name is "eth0" (Ethernet) or "wifi0" (Wi-Fi) in Linux.

Step 5 Find the item to which you want to assign an IP address.

In most cases, this is the "eth0" or "wifi0" item.

To assign an IP of "192.168.2.100" to your ethernet connection ("eth0"), for example, you'd enter sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 here.

If you have a different DNS server address that you would rather use, enter that in the place of 8.8.8.8 .

Step 9 Check your item's new IP address.

5 Find the network connection that you want to change. This will normally be the Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection, which has an IP address currently listed on the right side of the window.

Step 6 Switch to the network scripts directory.

For a network named "eno12345678", for example, you'd enter vi ifcfg-eno12345678 here.

BOOTPROTO - Change dhcp to none
Any IPV6 entry - Delete any IPV6 entries entirely by moving the cursor to the I on the left and pressing Del .
ONBOOT - Change no to yes

For example: to use "192.168.2.23" as your IP address, you'd type in IPADDR=192.168.2.23 and press ↵ Enter .
Type in PREFIX=24 and press ↵ Enter . You can also enter NETMASK=255.255.255.0 here.
Type in GATEWAY=192.168.2.1 and press ↵ Enter . Substitute your preferred gateway address if different.

Expert Q&A

Video . by using this service, some information may be shared with youtube..

Some very specific Linux distributions will require you to go through a different process to assign an IP address. To see your specific distribution's specifications, check online. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

Don't forget to switch back to the regular (non-root) user account when you're done. Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 1

How can I setup a static IP address for my Debian Virtual Machine?

I have already set a static IP for a virtual machine in a private network in my school's laboratory. However, if I follow the same steps at home I cannot set a static IP for my Debian Virtual Machine.

My etc/network/interfaces file is configured like this:

Once I restart my machine, and after I type ifconfig in the terminal, I see that my IP address is 192.168.1.59, but I cannot ping any website, such as google.com. I get a message that reads 'unknown host google.com'.

What should I do to set a static IP address then?

I will thank you for any help you can provide.

More information is required. Does it work with DHCP? What do you use for virtualization? Virtualbox? Your syntax looks correct. – Mikael Kjær Apr 3, 2017 at 8:34
Does you home network actually use that address range? Do you actually have a gateway that is reachable by that address? Currently your DNS configuration might be missing (in addition). – Seth Apr 3, 2017 at 8:36
@MikaelKjær, What do you mean if it works with DHCP? If I understand correctly, by setting a static IP address, I am avoiding using DHCP. Otherwise, my file would have a line that reads iface eth0 inet dhcp . And yes, I'm using Virtualbox. – David Apr 3, 2017 at 8:37
@Seth, my gateway does have that IP address, and all my devices connected to my home network currently have an IP address such as 192.168.1.x – David Apr 3, 2017 at 8:38
@Seth, I just checked the DNS configuration. That was the problem. All I had to do was add the final line dns-nameservers 192.168.1.254 Thank you very much. – David Apr 3, 2017 at 8:46

The host was unreachable because no DNS server was specified.

The configuration file must be the following (as long as your gateway and nameserver have the same IP address)

In this article we will discuss about how to set Manual or static IP Address on Debian server, there will come a moment in your career as a Linux system administrator when you will be tasked with the responsibility of configuring networking on your machine. On desktop computers, you are able to utilise dynamic IP addresses; but, in order to set up a server architecture, you will need to configure a static IP address (at least in most cases).

The following information on Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) will be used so that we may accomplish the objectives of this tutorial.

Before doing anything, first check the network device name of your system, in which you want to set static ip.

To configure static IP address in Debian/ Ubuntu, open the following file:

You will see the below lines in the above opened file.

Change the line to the below code.

Save the file and exit the file.

Now make the required entry in /etc/resolv.conf file as follow

[/console]# vi /etc/resolv.conf [/console]

Now just down your network device and then up the same to made the changes reflected.

Now confirm whether your changes just reflected yet or not.

How to set a static IP address on Debian 10 Buster?

In this opportunity, I will show you how to define a static IP address in Debian 10. With that, you will be able to give a specific IP address to your Debian team. Ideal if you are on a home network or for educational purposes.

What do you will learn in this post?

This is a post, quite simple to apply. If you keep reading, you will learn the following

What is a static IP address?
Advantages of having a server with a static IP address.
How to define a static IP address in Debian 10 Buster?

On the other hand, if you do not have Debian 10 Buster installed yet, I recommend you to visit our post where we explain it in detail.

How to install Debian 10 Buster?

So, we can start now.

A Static IP address

An IP address is an identifier held by each device that connects to the Internet or a computer network. In the case of the Internet, it must be unique to avoid connection conflicts.

On the one hand, there are dynamic IP addresses that change their value from time to time. Normally, these addresses are assigned by a DCHP server . The sysadmin does not have to worry about the assigned address as they are renewed from time to time.

On the other hand, we have static or fixed IP addresses, which unlike dynamical ones, do not change over time. In this case, it must be assigned and configured manually in the system.

Each of them has its own advantages, however, for internal networks, it is convenient to have equipment with static IP addresses. This facilitates the administration and routing of packets within the network. It is also easier to maintain the network.

Now, I will show you how to define a static IP address in Debian 10.

How to set up a static IP address on Debian 10?

First, it is necessary to know which network interface we are going to configure. For this example, I will assume that we will configure the wired network interface.

Then, we verify the name of the interface with the following command:

The output will be something similar to this one:

There we will have the name of the network interfaces. The one that corresponds to the wired network is called enp0s3 . Something similar should be in your case.

And it has an IP address 192.168.250.15 . However, I always want the address to be 192.168.250.99 .

Now that we know the name of the interface, we need to edit the file /etc/network/interfaces .

On the line:

It says that it will configure the interface with DHCP i.e. for a dynamic IP address. It has to be changed to configure it in a static way. So, change it for this line:

The following connection parameters should then be added.

Remember that these parameters are as an example. You need to type the corresponding ones to your network.

After making the settings, it should look like this:

1.- Configuring a static IP address on Debian 10 Buster

Next, restart the network service

Then, check the changes:

So, everything was fine.

Setting up a static IP address on Debian 10 is quite simple. However, you must have root privileges to do this. You can learn how to enable sudo in Debian 10 for that.

Ideally, you should have a static IP address for computers within an internal network to make them easier to handle.

Please share this post with your friends and join our Telegram channel .

Não funcionou. No meu caso pelo journal ele insiste em dizer que eu não mudei o nome da interface de eth0.

it works? address 192.168.250.99 ok netmask 255.255.255.0 (this subnet its wrong?) network 192.168.1.1 (the network is 192.168.250.0) broadcast 192.168.255.255 (the broadcast should be 192.168.250.255) gateway 192.168.1.1

Yeah, man. In my case, everything works properly. This is due to the original configuration of my network.

How to find and change IP address on Debian

I nternet Protocol, popularly known as IP address , is the unique-based address allocated to all the devices connected to the internet. The computer network utilizes this address to communicate with other machines, network servers, and websites.

To better simplify this, let us take an example of a house address; the postman uses this address to deliver the mail to this house. The pizza delivery person uses the same house address to deliver pizza.

IP addresses use the same concept in that websites have their IP addresses; the websites also have a log of the IP addresses of the network from the location the web is accessed. When you interlink some databases of any server, you can access the database by having the IP address of its server, and that server again has the record of your IP address in its log sheet.

In this article, you will see how to find an IP address on Linux, specifically Debian , and how you can change the IP address simultaneously.

How do we find IP addresses on Debian?

There are ideally two methods that we can use to find out the IP address of our network on Debian. The first is by the Graphical User Interface (GUI), while the second is by executing simple commands on the terminal. You don’t need to worry about any of the methods as we will discuss both of them.

Method 1: Find IP address by terminal

To access your IP address via this method, then open up the terminal and type in the following command, and press “Enter” afterward to execute it:

In the output, you can see the IP address of our internet device, which our machine is connected to, is 192.168.62.138. Alternatively, we can still find this same IP address by running the following command in the terminal and pressing “Enter” afterward to execute.

Method 2: Find IP address by graphical user interface method

On the flip side, we can still find out the IP address via the GUI method. We will open up the settings window by going to “activities” and simply searching for settings and clicking on it to open.

Search for settings

After that, navigate to “Network,” located on the left side of the settings window.

select network

Then click on the gear icon present in front of the option “Wired.”

Click on the gear button.

Upon clicking the gear icon, a prompt window will open up. This is where you can see your IP address with the title of IPv4 address as shown in the snapshot below:

Why should we have to change the IP address?

There are several reasons for one to change the IP address. Sometimes you might want to fix some internet-related issues. Furthermore, if you have any privacy concerns in online platforms, you can change your IP address to secure your network from the online audience. Similarly, if you want to conceal your machine from the other machines, you can also do that by changing your IP address.

How can I change my IP address on Debian?

We can carry out this task on Debian by running some simple commands in the terminal and from the Graphical user interface format.

Method 1: How to change IP address by terminal method

Debian has a network utility called Network Manager Text User Interface, known as “Nmtui,” a command-line tool used for network configuration on Gnu/Linux systems. When run, it prompts a graphical text interface that aids users in configuring network interfaces more effectively. Generally, numtui is utilized in configuring network-related settings. As such, run the following command in the terminal:

nmtui command

After that, a prompt will open, select the first option, “Edit a connection,” and press “OK.”

select Edit a connection

There and then, another prompt will open, Select “Edit.”

select Edit

In the next window, select the “manual” option in the IPv4 CONFIGURATION

select manual

Then click on the “Show” option located in front of the IPv4 CONFIGURATION <Manual>

Click on Show

Go ahead and click on the Addresses, and you should be permitted to key in a new IP Address in this section.

click on address and add the required address

Next, click on the address and add the required address.

As such, input your preferred IP address as shown below

add address.

Then scroll down the same window, and you will see two buttons, “Cancel and Ok,” select the “OK” button, and press “Enter.”

Click on OK

Select the “Back” button to close down this menu in the next window.

select back

Another window will then come up. On this window, click on “Activate a connection.”

select Activate a connection

Here, we will restart the new settings we have enforced to take effect. To reboot the newly configured settings, select “Deactivate,” as shown in the screenshot below.

select Deactivate

Then activate it again.

activate it again

After that, click on the “Back” button.

hit the back button again

As seen, we have changed the IP address, “198.168.62.138,” to “198.168.62.185.” Alternatively, we can use the graphical user interface to carry out the same changing IP address.

Method 2: How to change IP address by GUI method

To do this, open the settings by going to “activities” and using the search bar to look for the settings icon and click on it.

After that, navigate to the Network section as shown below

Then click on the settings icon in the Network section

After that, a prompt box will be opened, click on the IPv4, select Manual, type the desired IP address in the “address” box, key in the netmask and gateway addresses and click on the “APPLY” button to save the changes.

select IPv4

Finally, switch off the connection by clicking on the button and then switching “on” again to restart the settings.

off the on button

Wrapping up

An IP address is a specific address of any user working on an internet environment. They can communicate to other network users, meaning it is end-to-end communication. This article has diversely discussed the meaning of an IP address, why one may opt to change an IP address and how you can change your PC’s IP address on Debian.

We, in detail, covered the two methods by command line method and the graphical user interface that we believe you are well of with now. Thanks for reading this guide, and keep following FOSS Linux for more on all Linux distros.
