Unlike a static IP address, which must be manually configured and remains constant, a dynamic IP address can change each time a device connects to the network or after a specified period. Dynamic IP addresses are temporary and can be reused by other devices after the device is disconnected from the network. To get a static IP address for your machine, we need to configure it. From Ubuntu 17.10 to the most recent version, Ubuntu 26.04, the network configuration utility now uses netplan. This article will show you how to install a static IP address on Ubuntu 26.04.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linuxcloudvps.com\/cloud-vps.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ubuntu 26.04 VPS<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SSH root access or a regular system user with sudo privileges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conventions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># \u2013 given commands should be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use of sudo command\n$ \u2013 given commands should be executed as a regular user<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Dynamic IP Address?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A dynamic IP address is an address assigned automatically by a DHCP server and can change each time a device connects to the network or after a specified period. Dynamic IP addresses reduce the need for manual configuration and are often used for devices that don&#8217;t require a fixed IP address, such as personal computers or mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Static IP Address?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A static IP address is an IP address that is manually assigned to a device and does not change. Once configured, this IP address remains the same every time the device connects to the network. Static IP addresses are often used for devices that require a fixed IP address, such as servers or network printers, which must be accessible at a consistent address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When specific configurations for individual interfaces are provided, devices will not automatically activate using DHCP. Instead, each interface must be explicitly defined in a file in \/etc\/netplan\/, complete with its corresponding YAML settings for either the networkd or NetworkManager backend renderers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s complete these steps to configure a static IP address on Ubuntu using Netplan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step1. Identify Ethernet Interfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Run the following command to identify which Ethernet interface we want to configure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># ip link<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The command above will print the result below, which lists all the available network interfaces: one is a loopback interface, and the others are Ethernet interfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>1: lo: &lt;LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000\n    link\/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00\n2: ens33: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000\n    link\/ether 00:0c:29:ee:3a:cb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff\n    altname enp2s1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, in this case, we will use the ens33 interface. lo is a loopback interface and cannot be used for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2. Edit Netplan Configuration File<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Netplan is a new network configuration utility introduced in Ubuntu 17.10 that reads YAML files and generates all the configurations for the renderer tool (NetworkManager or networkd). Netplan reads the network configuration from \/etc\/netplan\/*.yaml. Installing Netplan will automatically create YAML files (.yaml) in \/etc\/netplan. Within this directory, you may see files such as 01-netcfg.yaml, 50-cloud-init.yaml, or other similar names, contingent upon your specific configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, on this server, we can see the \/etc\/netplan\/00-installer-config.yaml file. Let&#8217;s see what&#8217;s inside the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># cat \/etc\/netplan\/00-installer-config.yaml <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># This is the network config written by 'subiquity'\nnetwork:\n  ethernets:\n    ens33:\n      dhcp4: true\n      dhcp6: true\n      match:\n        macaddress: 00:0c:29:ee:3a:cb\n      set-name: ens33\n  version: 2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s the content of our \/etc\/netplan\/00-installer-config.yaml file. If there is no YAML file in \/etc\/netplan on the system, run the following command to create it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"># netplan generate<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, to check the existing netplan configuration, we can execute this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># netplan get<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The command will return an output like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>network:\n  version: 2\n  renderer: networkd\n  ethernets:\n    ens33:\n      dhcp4: true<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>We can edit the files available in \/etc\/netplan. Now, to configure a static IP address, we need to modify the YAML configuration file at \/etc\/netplan\/00-installer-config.yaml. Please note that when editing a YAML file, make sure you follow the YAML code indentation standards. The recommended YAML syntax is to use 2 spaces for indentation; do not use TABS. The changes will not be applied if the indentation and syntax are incorrect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"># nano \/etc\/netplan\/00-installer-config.yaml<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the Ethernet section, add the following configuration line: Replace ens3 with the Ethernet interface name that we want to update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">network:<br>    ethernets:<br>        ens33:<br>            addresses:<br>            - 192.168.100.55\/24<br>            dhcp6: false<br>            routes:<br>            - to: default<br>              via: 192.168.100.1<br>            nameservers:<br>                addresses:<br>                - 192.168.100.1<br>                - 1.1.1.1<br>                search: []<br>            optional: true<br>    version: 2<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a YAML file; make sure to use spaces and not tabs. Save and close the file. The information below shows you a detailed breakdown of the configuration file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>network: This is main part of the configuration file\nethernets: This section specifies that the configuration is for Ethernet interfaces. It\u2019s the main key under which individual Ethernet interfaces are defined.\nens3: this is the ethernet address of your machine, you can check yours with the ip link command\naddresses: Specify a static IP address range under addresses: You can also add one or more IPv4 or IPv6 IP addresses to assign to the network interface. We can also mention the IP range.\ndhcp4: no and dhcp6: no, meaning DHCP is disabled\nnameserver: Set the IP address of the DNS server.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, make sure you know your gateway IP address. Using an incorrect IP address as the gateway can make your computer inaccessible when you want to remote it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3. Apply changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After making changes to the Netplan configuration file, we need to apply them to make them take effect. However, before applying the changes, we can run the command below for a dry run to check if everything is okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># netplan try<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>We can then execute the following command to apply the changes if no error is reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># netplan apply<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Run the following command to verify the configuration. You can replace ens33 with the Ethernet interface you want to modify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># ip addr show dev ens33<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>or, simply<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># ip a<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note: Be careful when applying the changes you made. If you follow this article and apply it to your server, it may lose its network connectivity. So, make sure to follow the steps above with caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it.
