Set static IP

To configure a static IP address on a BliKVM image, you can follow these steps:

v1 v2 v3 versions - Debian

1. SSH into the BliKVM, If it is a read-only system, please use the rw command to make the system writable.
2. Edit the network interfaces configuration file using the following command:

sudo vim /etc/dhcpcd.conf

1. Within the file, locate the section that starts with # Example static IP configuration.
2. Uncomment the lines below that section and modify them to set your desired static IP address, gateway, DNS servers, and other network settings.

For example:

interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.1.100/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1

Adjust the values according to your network configuration.

1. Save the changes.
2. Restart the BliKVM for the changes to take effect:

sudo reboot

v4 version - armbian

1. SSH into the BliKVM, If it is a read-only system, please use the rw command to make the system writable.
2. Edit the network interfaces configuration file using the following command:

sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces

1. Within the file, locate the section that starts with # Example static IP configuration.
2. Uncomment the lines below that section and modify them to set your desired static IP address, gateway, DNS servers, and other network settings.

For example:

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1

Adjust the values according to your network configuration.

1. Save the changes.
2. Restart the BliKVM for the changes to take effect:

sudo reboot

After the reboot, your BliKVM will use the configured static IP address instead of obtaining one dynamically from a DHCP server. Make sure the static IP address you choose is not already assigned to another device on the network and is within the same subnet.
