Set static IP address in Ubuntu 13.04

Switch to the root user and enter the/etc/network directory. Backing up interfaces files (it is a good habit to back up files)

Edit the interfaces file and add the following statement:

1 # Assgin static IP by eric on 26-SEP-20122 iface eth0 inet static3 address 192.168.196.135         #change to your static IP4 netmask 255.255.255.0           #change to your netmask5 gateway 192.168.196.255         #change to your getway6 #We must specify dns-nameserver here7 #in order to get internet access from host8 dns-nameservers 192.168.196.2559 auto eth0

After editing, the content of the interfaces file is as follows:

[email protected]:/etc/network# cat interfaces# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)auto loiface lo inet loopback#add by andy at 2014-08-14# Assgin static IP by eric on 26-SEP-2012iface eth0 inet staticaddress 192.168.196.135         #change to your static IPnetmask 255.255.255.0           #change to your netmaskgateway 192.168.196.255         #change to your getway#We must specify dns-nameserver here#in order to get internet access from hostdns-nameservers 192.168.196.255auto eth0

The next step is to restart the NIC:

[email protected]:/etc/network# /etc/init.d/networking restart

After the restart is complete, test:

 [email protected]:/etc/network# ping www.baidu.com.cn PING www.a.shifen.com (220.181.112.244) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 220.181.112.244: icmp_req=1 ttl=128 time=6.12 ms 64 bytes from 220.181.112.244: icmp_req=2 ttl=128 time=14.7 ms

OK. Static IP Address Settings are complete.
