Single static IP address for eth0 - Raspberry Pi Forums

hi,

i'm trying set pi (under raspbian) single static ip address eth0. i've found many on-line tutorials this, /etc/network/interfaces file pi (model b) has seems different ones listed there, , if try follow them pi ends 2 ip addresses, 1 dhcp router , other fixed address i'm trying give it.

in tutorials says change line

code: select all

iface eth0 inet dhcp

code: select all

iface eth0 inet static

, add other entries (address, netmask, gateway, network , broadcast) below it. on pi (with fresh raspbian install) interfaces file has

code: select all

iface eth0 inet manual

rather dhcp, , if change manual static , add other entries dual ip address. there other lines auto eth0 don't feature in tutorials @ all, although commenting out don't seem make difference.

advise current best set-up interfaces file 1 single static ip address set on pi , not assigned dhcp router @ all?

somewhere along way upgrade modified /etc/network/interfaces file 'manual' word instead of dhcp or static , ended 2 ip addresses, static 1 , dhcp address. had time play , found out dhcpcd5 works differently whatever in before. static address, not modify /etc/network/interfaces. put 'manual' word if changed , instead modify /etc/dhcpcd.conf shown in example docs:

code: select all

     static value              configures static value.  if set ip_address dhcpcd              not attempt obtain lease , use value              address infinite lease time.               here example configures static address, routes ,              dns.                    interface eth0                    static ip_address=192.168.0.10/24                    static routers=192.168.0.1                    static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1
