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/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
# make sure ifupdown if true
[main]
dns=none
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=true

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

1. example vim /etc/network/interfaces.

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 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 NetworkManager for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

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.
