How to configure a static IP on Windows 10 or 11

Do you need to switch from a dynamic to a static IP address configuration on Windows 11 or 10? Here's how.

Windows 11 static IP
Windows 10 static IP

On Windows, the router's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is (usually) responsible for assigning a dynamic Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) configuration to every device in the network, including to your computer running Windows 11 or Windows 10.

Although a dynamic IP address is the recommended configuration for most situations, you may need to change to a static IP address if you're thinking about setting up a printer or file sharing, or you have to configure port forwarding on the router to your computer.

The reason is that a dynamic network configuration can change at any time after the lease from the DHCP expires and if the address changes, network resources you may have configured will stop working. Setting a static IP address will always stay the same on the computer, allowing a more reliable experience sharing resources in the network or forwarding ports.

Whatever the reason, on Windows 10 and 11, you have many ways to configure a static TCP/IP address, including using the Settings app and Command Prompt.

This guide will walk you through the different ways to configure a static network configuration on Windows 11 and 10.

How to set a static TCP/IP network configuration on Windows 11

On Windows 11, you can change your computer's dynamic IP configuration to static in at least two ways through the Settings app or commands.

Configure IP from Settings app

To assign a permanent TCP/IP configuration on Windows 11, use these steps:

Open Settings .
Click on Network & internet .
(Optional) Click on Advanced network settings .
Under the "More settings" section, click on Hardware and connection properties.
Note the current IPv4 , Subnet mask , Default Gateway , and DNS server addresses to determine the new configuration, as it has to be in the same network scope.
Click the Ethernet or Wi-Fi page on the right side from the "Network & internet." page.
Quick note: If you select the Wi-Fi page, you need to click on the connection properties to access the network settings.
Click on the Edit button for the "IP assignment" setting.
Select the Manual option from the drop-down menu.
Turn on the IPv4 toggle switch.
Confirm the IP address for the computer – for example, 10.1.4.90.
Confirm the subnet mask for the configuration – for example, 255.255.255.0.
Confirm the default gateway address (usually your router's IP) – for example, 10.1.4.1.
Confirm the preferred DNS address – for example, 10.1.4.1.
Quick note: In a home network, you may also be able to use the router's IP address for the DNS configuration. You can also use third-party DNS services like Google Public DNS, Cloudflare, Cisco's OpenDNS, and others.
(Optional) Select the "On (automatic template)" option for the "DNS over HTTPS" setting and leave the "Fallback to plaintext" option disabled unless you want to encrypted as well as unencrypted traffic or you're troubleshooting connectivity.
Quick note: DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is a feature that encrypts the DNS queries over the HTTPS protocol to improve security and privacy on the internet. You only want to enable this feature if the DNS server supports this feature.
Confirm the alternate DNS address (if applicable).
(Optional) Select the "On (automatic template)" option for the "DNS over HTTPS" setting and leave the "Fallback to plaintext" option disabled.
Click the Save button.

Once you complete the steps, the computer will start using the static network configuration. If everything has been configured correctly, you should be able to open the web browser to access the internet.

If you entered an address (such as the DNS address) and then changed it, you probably won't be able to save the settings. If this is the case, cancel the configuration, start over, enter the correct configuration, and then try to save the settings.

Configure IP from Command Prompt

To set a static TCP/IP configuration on Windows 11, use these steps:

Open Start .
Search for Command Prompt , right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.
Type the following command to see your current networking configuration and press Enter : ipconfig /all
Confirm the name of the adapter and the networking configuration, including the IPv4 , Subnet mask , Default Gateway , and DNS Servers .
Type the following command to configure a static TCP/IP address and press Enter : netsh interface ip set address name= "ADAPTER-NAME" static IP-ADDRESS SUBNET-ADDRESS DEFAULT-GATEWAY-ADDRESS

In the above command, replace ADAPTER-NAME with the name of your network adapter. Change IP-ADDRESS SUBNET-ADDRESS DEFAULT-GATEWAY-ADDRESS with the device IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway addresses you want. For example, this command sets the 10.1.4.90, 255.255.255.0, 10.1.4.1 configuration: netsh interface ip set address name="Ethernet 10Gb" static 10.1.4.90 255.255.255.0 10.1.4.1

Type the following command to set a DNS server address and press Enter : netsh interface ip set dns name="ADAPTER-NAME" static DNS-ADDRESS

In the command, change ADAPTER-NAME with your adapter's name and DNS-ADDRESS with the DNS server address of the network. For example, this command sets the local router as the DNS server: netsh interface ip set dns name="Ethernet 10Gb" static 10.1.4.1

Type the following command to set an alternate DNS server address and press Enter : netsh interface ip add dns name="ADAPTER-NAME" DNS-ADDRESS index=2

In the command, change ADAPTER-NAME with the adapter's name and DNS-ADDRESS with an alternate DNS server address. For example, netsh interface ip add dns name="Ethernet 10Gb" 1.1.1.1 index=2

After you complete the steps, the commands will set a static network configuration on Windows 11.

How to set a static TCP/IP network configuration on Windows 10

On Windows 10, you can also use the Settings app and Command Prompt to set up a static IP network configuration.

To assign a permanent TCP/IP configuration on Windows 10, use these steps:

Click on Ethernet or Wi-Fi .
Click on the active connection on the right side.
Click the Edit button for the "IP assignment" setting.
Select the Manual option.
Confirm the subnet prefix length (subnet mask) for the configuration – for example, 24 to specify the 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.
Quick tip: It's important to use the number that represents the network instead of the subnet mask. Otherwise, the configuration won't save. If you don't know the subnet prefix length for your subnet mask, you can use any online subnet calculator to find out.

Once you complete the steps, Windows 10 will start using the static IP configuration. If you lose network connectivity, restart the computer to regain access to the local network and internet.

To change from dynamic to static IP address with commands on Windows 10, use these steps:

In the command, change ADAPTER-NAME with the adapter's name and DNS-ADDRESS with an alternate DNS server address. For example, netsh interface ip add dns name="Ethernet0" 1.1.1.1 index=2

After you complete the steps, the network configuration will switch from dynamic to static on Windows 10.

How to Assign Static IP Address to Your Devices

By default, your router assigns dynamic IP Address to every device that connects to it. This is called DHCP (short for Dynamic Host Control Protocol). But sometimes, we need our devices to have the same IP address (i.e. Static IP) every time it connects to the network. Reason being,

Access your computer from the Internet.
Share data between two devices on the same network.
Quickly access your Network Printer or NAS.
Use your computer as a media server.
Or your work WiFi requires you to use Static IP address.

What IP address should you choose?

If two devices on the network have the same IP address, then there will be conflicts. The Internet won’t work on one of them or both, depending on your router. So, it’s important to assign a unique IP address to your computer. There are a couple of ways to pick an unused IP address.

For instance– first find your device’s IP address , say it’s 192.168.1.7 ; then keep the first three values (i.e. 192.168.1) as it’s and replace the last digit with some far number like 192.168.1.222 . Though make sure the last digit should be between a 0-255 range.

Assigning Static IP address to most devices is easy, just go to its network settings, look for DHCP option and turn it OFF. Once you do that, you’ll see a text area to enter Static IP address. Enter the new IP address there, save changes and that’s it.

So let’s see how to Assign Static IP address to various Operating Systems

1. Assign IP Address on Windows 10/8/7

You can do this quickly through the command line. You will need to first find your subnet mask, default gateway, and network adapter name. In my case, I’m on a Wi-Fi network, so the adapter name is Wi-Fi. To find yours just type the following command.

Once you get the output, find for the Network Adapter which has IP listed under it. The adapter name is a one-word name suffixed to the end of the Network Title. You will also need the Subnet mask and the Default Gateway Address.

Once you have the adapter name, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway, run the following command.

Wherein, Wi-Fi should be replaced by your adapter name and the IP, subnet mask and gateway address according to your configuration.

This will change your IP address from DHCP to manual with the static IP address you have specified.

In case you find it too confusing, you are not alone. You can do the same via GUI which is much more intuitive. You’ll need the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway Address . You can refer to the above step on how to find these details. Once you have noted down the address, click on Start Menu and type in Network and Sharing Center. Click once you see the Network and Sharing Center Icon.

Alternatively, if you are in Windows 10 then you can right-click on the Start menu and click on “ Network Connections “.

A new window will open, click on Change Adapter Options.

Right Click on your Current Network Adapter ( like WiFi) and choose Properties.

When the new window pops up, select Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties.

Once you get the pop-up window, select “ Enter the IP address you want ” and fil the IP Address, For Subnet Mask , and Default Gateway Address enter the values that you have noted down previously. Next, click on OK to save changes.

To switch to dynamic IP, click on Obtain the IP address automatically. Once this is enabled, your system will start picking an IP address dynamically from the router.

2. How to setup static IP on Ubuntu

On Ubuntu, you can set a static IP Address via the terminal or GUI. Firstly, let’s start with the command line. Right-click anywhere on the desktop to open the terminal.

Once the terminal window opens, we need to run a command. We need the subnet mask and network adapter name in order to set a static IP and to get that, run the following command on the terminal.

Once you have the subnet mask noted down, in my case, it’s 255.255.255.0, we can proceed further.

It is pretty simple and straight forward. We need to open the Network Adapter settings. To do that, click on the Network Icon at the top right corner of the desktop.

Now, navigate on the active network and click on the expand button for more options. Click on Wired Settings to open the Network menu.

Once you get the Wired Settings dialogue, make sure you are on the Network page. Click on the Settings icon beside the active network to open the adapter properties.

When you get the pop-up, navigate to the IPv4 tab to change the IP settings.

On the IPv4 tab, select the radio button which says “ Manual “. Some text fields will appear, you need to enter the IP address, Netmask and Gateway accordingly. Once it is validated, you can click on the Apply button to register the changes.

Again you need to restart the network for the changes to take effect. You can do it manually via command line or just switch off and switch on the Network adapter. Once done, run ifconfig on the terminal to check the IP address. It should be the same IP address which you have specified earlier.

3. How to setup static IP on Mac

If you are on macOS, setting static IP is quite similar to that of Ubuntu. But, here you don’t need the subnet mask or Default Gateway Address. Right click on the apple icon at the top left corner of the desktop. Click on System Preferences from the dropdown list.

Once the System Preferences dialogue box displays, navigate to Network and click on it to open the Network Settings

Alternatively, you can also hit Cmd+Space to trigger the Spotlight search. Type “ Network ” in the search bar and click on the icon once it appears. This will directly navigate you to the Network Settings.

From the pop-up window, select an active network interface. For example, I am connected to a WiFi network so my active network is Wi-Fi. Make sure you are on the active network tab and then click on Advanced .

A new window will open the configuration settings for that adapter. Move over to the IP settings by clicking on the TCP/IP tab .

From the Configure IPv4 menu, choose Using DHCP with manual address. Enter a static IP address in the IPv4 Address and leave the Subnet Mask and Router field as default. Click Ok to save the changes.

Now when you do an ifconfig, the system should be using the static IP you have defined in the previous times. If the IP’s have not changed, try restarting the Wi-Fi and it should fix it.

To switch back to dynamic IP, move back to “ Using DHCP ” from the Configure IPv4 menu.

4. How to setup static IP on Android

The network which you are connected to should be on top of the list. Tap on the settings icon beside the Wi-Fi network name.

Once the pop-up opens, you will see IP settings at the bottom of the menu. The default option is “DHCP”. Tap on it to change the IP configuration.

Select “ Static ” from the presented drop-down menu. Enter the desired IP address and leave the other options as default. Make sure that other devices are not using the same IP. You can see the IP address of the other devices in your network by using a small utility called Fing . For a detailed process, check our article on how to find the IP Address of any Device on your network . Once you have entered the IP, click on Save to register the change. Now, your Android phone should start using the desired IP Address.

In almost all the Android version, you get the option to set static IP Address. For some rare older Android versions, you can use a third-party app like WiFi Static . It’s free and it doesn’t require ROOT.

To switch back to dynamic IP, repeat the same procedure and select “DHCP” from the IP settings instead.

5. How to setup static IP on iPhone and iPad

If you are using an iPhone or iPad, then you can set static IP Address natively. You would need the Subnet Mask of your network. This can be obtained from the Wi-Fi settings and we would see to it in the further steps. To get started, click on the Settings icon in the dock to get to the Settings menu.

Now on the Settings menu page, tap on Wi-Fi to get to the Wi-Fi settings.

On the Wi-Fi page, you should see your connected Wi-Fi network at the top. Click on the “i” button beside it. This will open the Wi-Fi configuration window.

Once the Wi-Fi settings page appears, you will see an option called “ Configure IP “. By Default, this would be set to automatic. Just below this option, you will see “ Subnet Mask “, note it down as we will need it in the further steps. In order to set static IP, we need to change Configure IP it to Manual. Tap on it and it will open the IPv4 settings page.

There should be 3 options available on the “Configure IPv4” page. Select “ Manual ” from it. As soon as Manual IP is enabled, you will get extra text fields at the bottom to enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router. We need to fill in the IP Address of our choice and Subnet Mask which we noted down in the previous step. Now, after you fill both the fields, the save button at the top right corner will be enabled. Click on it to save the static IP configuration.

Now, when you return to the Wi-Fi settings page, you will see your device is using the Static IP address. This should be the same IP address we have set in the IP configuration menu.

This static IP address will be applicable only to that particular Wi-Fi network. In case, you connect to some other Wi-Fi network the IP will change accordingly.

6. How to setup static IP to any Device from Router

Other network devices like your Wireless Printer, PS4, NAS, IP Camera, Raspberry Pi , etc. do not have an Interface. Hence, in order to configure the network, either you have to connect remotely or use the router. If you have access to the router, setting Static IP for network devices is the easiest and convenient way. I would recommend this method over any other.

So, to assign a Static IP Address to any network device, you need to login to the web portal of the router. The web portal address, username, and password are mostly printed behind the router. In case you don’t have physical access to the router, the web portal URL is mostly the PC’s gateway address. To find that, open command prompt and type the following command.

Once you have the web portal loaded, log in with the credentials. Now every router has a different web UI, but the overall structure is the same. Basically, you will have to link the IP Address to the Mac Address and Hostname of the device. So, we need to find the MAC address & Hostname of the network device. To do that, look for DHCP client list which should look something like the following screenshot.

You can get your MAC Address & Hostname under DHCP Client list. Once, you have the MAC address & Hostname noted down, we can proceed further. On most of the routers, you will have the option to set a Static IP under the section IP Mac binding or DHCP Static IP option. In case you are on a custom ROM like dd-wrt, head over to Services tab and you will have DHCP Server . Under DHCP Server, add an entry for Static Leases by clicking on the Add button.

Clicking on the Add button will create a new row. You have to enter the MAC Address, Hostname, desired Static IP and Lease time . Lease time is a unit in minutes after which your IP will be renewed. Since we are adding only 1 entry for the particular host the IP will be the same even after the renewal. Once, done click on Save changes .

Once you have configured successfully on the router, just restart the Wi-Fi on the device. When it connects it should start using the static IP. In case of issues, make sure that you have the correct MAC Address and Hostname. To check, just run the command ipconfig or look back again in the router’s DHCP client list.

These changes are written to the ROM so restarting the router won’t make changes to the static IP configuration. In order to get back to Dynamic IP, just remove the entry from the IP leases.

What’s next

Once you have started configuring the IPs on Router and network devices, you are good to go configure telnet and SSH. Have a look at our brief article on How to Enable Telnet Server in Windows 10 , Best SSH clients for iOS To Manages Remote Servers and 6 Best FTP Clients For Android . A word of caution would be to note down the static IPs assigned to devices as assigning the same IP to two network devices would render them useless.

How to set static ip addresses on your router.

Routers both modern and antiquated allow users to set static IP addresses for devices on the network, but what's the practical use of static IP addresses for a home user? Read on as we explore when you should, and shouldn't, assign a static IP.

Quick Links

Dhcp versus static ip assignment, when to use static ip addresses, assigning static ip addresses the smart way.

Dear How-To Geek, After reading over your five things to do with a new router article , I was poking around in the control panel of my router. One of the things I found among all the settings is a table to set static IP addresses. I'm pretty sure that section is self explanatory in as much as I get that it allows you to give a computer a permanent IP address, but I don't really understand why? I've never used that section before and everything on my home network seems to work fine. Should I be using it? It's obviously there for some reason, even if I'm not sure what that reason is! Sincerely, IP Curious

To help you understand the application of static IP addresses, let's start with the setup you (and most readers for that matter) have. The vasty majority of modern computer networks, including the little network in your home controlled by your router, use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). DHCP is a protocol that automatically assigns a new device an IP address from the pool of available IP addresses without any interaction from the user or a system administrator. Let's use an example to illustrate just how wonderful DHCP is and how easy it makes all of our lives.

Related: How to Set Up Static DHCP So Your Computer's IP Address Doesn't Change

Imagine that a friend visits with their iPad. They want to get on your network and update some apps on the iPad. Without DHCP, you would need to hop on a computer, log into your router's admin panel, and manually assign an available address to your friend's device, say 10.0.0.99. That address would be permanently assigned to your friend's iPad unless you went in later and manually released the address.

With DHCP, however, life is so much easier. Your friend visits, they want to jump on your network, so you give them the Wi-Fi password to login and you're done. As soon as the iPad connected to the router, the router's DHCP server checks the available list of IP addresses, and assigns an address with an expiration date built in. Your friend's iPad is given an address, connected to the network, and then when your friend leaves and is no longer using the network that address will return to the pool for available addresses ready to be assigned to another device.

All that happens behind the scenes and, assuming there isn't a critical error in the router's software, you'll never even need to pay attention to the DHCP process as it will be completely invisible to you. For most applications, like adding mobile devices to your network, general computer use, video game consoles, etc., this is a more than satisfactory arrangement and we should all be happy to have DHCP and not be burdened with the hassle of manually managing our IP assignment tables.

Although DHCP is really great and makes our lives easier, there are situations where using a manually assigned static IP address is quite handy. Let's look at a few situations where you would want to assign a static IP address in order to illustrate the benefits of doing so.

You need reliable name resolution on your network for computers that need to be consistently and accurately found. Although networking protocols have advanced over the years, and the majority of the time using a more abstract protocol like SMB (Server Message Block) to visit computers and shared folders on your network using the familiar //officecomputer/shared_music/ style address works just fine, for some applications it falls apart. For example, when setting up media syncing on XBMC it's necessary to use the IP address of your media source instead of the SMB name.

Any time you rely on a computer or a piece of software to accurately and immediately locate another computer on your network (as is the case with our XBMC example - the client devices need to find the media server hosting the material) with the least chance of error, assigning a static IP address is the way to go. Direct IP-based resolution remains the most stable and error free method of communicating on a network.

You want to impose a human-friendly numbering scheme onto your network devices. For network assignments like giving an address to your friend's iPad or your laptop, you probably don't care where in the available address block the IP comes from because you don't really need to know (or care). If you have devices on your network that you regularly access using command line tools or other IP-oriented applications, it can be really useful to assignment permanent addresses to those devices in a scheme that is friendly to the human memory.

For example, if left to its own devices our router would assign any available address to our three Raspberry Pi XBMC units. Because we frequently tinker with those units and access them by their IP addresses, it made sense to permanently assign addresses to them that would be logical and easy to remember:

The .90 unit is in the basement, the .91 unit is on the first floor, and the .92 unit is on the second floor.

You have an application the expressly relies on IP addresses. Some applications will only allow you to supple an IP address to refer to other computers on the network. In such cases it would be extremely annoying to have to change the IP address in the application every time the IP address of the remote computer was changed in the DHCP table. Assigning a permanent address to the remote computer prevents you from the hassle of frequently updating your applications. This is why it's quite useful to assign any computer that functions as a server of any sort to a permanent address.

Before you just start assigning static IP addresses left and right, let's go over some basic network hygiene tips that will save you from a headache down the road.

First, check what the IP pool available on your router is. Your router will have a total pool and a pool specifically reserved for DHCP assignments. The total pool available to home routers is typically 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255 or 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255 . Then, within those ranges a smaller pool is reserved for the DHCP server, typically around 252 addresses in a range like 10.0.0.2 through 10.0.0.254. Once you know the general pool, you should use the following rules to assign static IP addresses:

Never assign an address that ends in .0 or .255 as these addresses are typically reserved for network protocols. This is the reason the example IP address pool above ends at .254.
Never assign an address to the very start of the IP pool, e.g. 10.0.0.1 as the start address is always reserved for the router. Even if you've changed the IP address of your router for security purposes , we'd still suggest against assigning a computer.
Never assign an address outside of the total available pool of private IP addresses. This means if your router's pool is 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255 every IP you assign (keeping in mind the prior two rules) should fall within that range. Given that there are nearly 17 million addresses in that pool, we're sure you can find one you like.

Some people prefer to only use addresses outside of the DHCP range (e.g. they leave the 10.0.0.2 through 10.0.0.254 block completely untouched) but we don't feel strongly enough about that to consider it an outright rule. Given the improbability of a home user needing 252 device addresses simultaneously, it's perfectly fine to assign a device to one of those addresses if you'd prefer to keep everything in, say, the 10.0.0.x block.

Fake a Static IP With a Dynamic DNS Service

Frequently Asked Questions

A static IP address is an IP address that was manually configured for a device instead of one that was assigned by a DHCP server. It's called static because it doesn't change vs. a dynamic IP address , which does change.

Routers , phones, tablets, desktops, laptops, and any other device that can use an IP address can be configured to have a static IP address. This might be done through the device giving out IP addresses (like the router) or by manually typing the IP address into the device from the device itself.

Static IP addresses are also sometimes referred to as fixed IP addresses or dedicated IP addresses.

Why Would You Use a Static IP Address?

Another way to think of a static IP address is to think of something like an email address, or a physical home address. These addresses don't change—they're static—and it makes contacting or finding someone easy.

Similarly, a static IP address is useful if you host a website from home, have a file server in your network, use networked printers, forward ports to a specific device , run a print server, or use a remote access program . Because a static IP address never changes, other devices always know exactly how to contact a device that uses one.

For example, if a static IP address is set up for a computer in a home network. Once the computer has a specific address tied to it, a router can be set up to always forward certain inbound requests directly to that computer, such as FTP requests if the computer shares files over FTP.

Not using a static IP address (using a dynamic IP that does change) is a hassle if you're hosting a website, for example, because with every new IP address that the computer gets, you have to change the router settings to forward requests to that new address. Neglecting to do this would mean nobody could get to your website because the router has no idea which device in the network is the one that's serving the website.

Another example of a static IP address at work is with DNS servers . DNS servers use static IP addresses so that devices always knows how to connect to them. If they changed often, you'd have to regularly reconfigure those DNS servers on your router or computer to use the internet.

Static IP addresses are also useful for when the device's domain name is inaccessible. Computers that connect to a file server in a workplace network, for instance, could be set up to always connect to the server using the server's static IP instead of its hostname . Even if the DNS server malfunctions, the computers could still access the file server because they communicate with it through the IP address.

With remote access applications such as Windows Remote Desktop, using a static IP address means you can always access that computer with the same address. Using an IP address that changes requires you to know what it changes to so that you can use that new address for the remote connection.

Static vs. Dynamic IP Addresses

The opposite of a never-changing static IP address is an ever-changing dynamic IP address. A dynamic IP address is a regular address like a static IP is, but it's not permanently tied to a device. Instead, dynamic IP addresses are used for a specific amount of time and then returned to an address pool so that other devices can use them.

This is one reason that dynamic IP addresses are useful. If an ISP used static IP addresses for their customers, there'd constantly be a limited supply of addresses for new customers. Dynamic addresses provide a way for IP addresses to be reused when they're not in use elsewhere, providing internet access for more devices than would otherwise be possible.

Static IP addresses limit downtime. When dynamic addresses obtain a new IP address, any user that's connected to the existing one is removed from the connection and has to wait to find the new address. This wouldn't be a wise setup to have if the server hosts a website, a file-sharing service, or an online video game, all of which normally require constantly active connections.

In a local network, such as in a home or place of business, where you use a private IP address , most devices are probably configured for DHCP and thus use dynamic IP addresses.

Disadvantages of Using a Static IP Address

The major disadvantage that static IP addresses have over dynamic addresses is that the devices must be configured manually. The examples given above with regards to a home web server and remote access programs require you to set up the device with an IP address and properly configure the router to communicate with that specific address.

This requires more work than plugging in a router and allowing it to give out dynamic IP addresses via DHCP.

If a device is assigned an IP address of, for example, 192.168.1.110, and you go to a different network that gives out 10.X.X.X addresses, you won't be able to connect with the static IP. Instead, the device will need to be reconfigured to use DHCP (or use a static IP that works with that new network).

Security might be another downfall to using static IP addresses. An address that never changes gives hackers a prolonged time frame to find vulnerabilities in the device's network. The alternative would be using a dynamic IP address that changes and would, therefore, require the attacker to also change how they communicate with the device.

How to Get a Static IP Address

The steps for configuring a static IP address in Windows are fairly similar in Windows 11 through Windows XP. You can also set a static IP address on your phone or tablet.

Some routers reserve an IP address for specific devices that are connected to a network. This is normally done through DHCP Reservation, and it works by associating an IP address with a MAC address so that each time that specific device requests an IP address, the router assigns it the one you chose to associate with that physical MAC address.

You can read more about using DHCP Reservation at your router manufacturer's website. Here are links to instructions on doing this on routers from popular manufacturers: D-Link , Linksys, NETGEAR , Google.

To change the network settings, learn how to log in to your router as an administrator .

Getting a static IP address for your home or business requires contacting your ISP, but it might not be an option depending on the company. Static IP address assignments for public IP addresses are normally more expensive than choosing the dynamic IP option.

Since using a static IP address for a home network may cost more than a regular dynamic IP address, opt for both by using a dynamic DNS (DDNS) service .

Dynamic DNS services associate a changing, dynamic IP address to a hostname that doesn't change. It's like having your own static IP address but at no extra cost than what you're paying for a dynamic IP.

No-IP is one example of a free dynamic DNS service. Download their DNS update client which redirects the hostname you choose to be associated with your current IP address. This means that if you have a dynamic IP address, you can access your network using the same hostname.

A dynamic DNS service is helpful if you need to access your home network with a remote access program but don't want to pay for a static IP address. Similarly, you can host your own website from home and use dynamic DNS to ensure visitors can always access to your website.

The public IP address assigned to the routers of most home and business users is a dynamic IP address. Larger companies usually don't connect to the internet via dynamic IP addresses; instead, they have static IP addresses assigned to them which don't change.

ChangeIP.com is another free DDNS service, but there are many others.

If you're using Windows, you can find your static IP address using the ipconfig command in Command Prompt. Google will also tell you your public IP address if you type "What is my IP address" into the search field. On a Mac, open the Apple menu > System Preferences > Network and select your network to see your IP address.

Use the ifconfig command followed by the name of your network interface and the new IP address you want to use. So it would look something like ifconfig [network interface] [new IP address] .

First, find the Pi's current IP address using the ip r | grep default command and make note of it. Use the sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf command to find the DNS server and the nameserver. Then, edit the dhcpcd.conf file and add the following lines, replacing the information in the brackets with your own:

interface <NETWORK>

static ip_address=<STATICIP>/24

static routers=<ROUTERIP>

static domain_name_servers=<DNSIP>

Send the page link to your email

Please enter your email

Scan QR code to open this page with your smart phone.

In general, the device connected to ASUS router will receive a dynamic private IP address from router DHCP server, like 192.168.1.3. However, if you want to share files in a computer to other devices, then you might need a manual assign IP function to set a static IP for the computer so you don't need to search and confirm the IP address of the computer every time when you want to access it.

To assign a fixed IP address for your devices, you may follow the steps below.

Method1 ： You can assign a fixed IP address from your device's network card. (For how to configure the built-in network card of your device, please contact the device manufacturer.)

Method2: Set up a fixed IP for device via ASUS router DHCP server.

Step1 . Connect your computer to ASUS router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable.

Note : Wired connection is recommend to avoid setup interruptions due to unstable wireless network signals

Step2: Open a web browser and navigate to Web GUI. http://www.asusrouter.com

Step3: Enter your login username and password on the login page and then click [ Sign In ].

Note: If you forget the user name and/or password, please restore the router to the factory default status and setup. (The default username and password is admin/admin).

Please refer to [Wireless Router] How to reset the router to factory default setting? for how to restore the router to default status.

Step 4 : Go to [ Advanced Settings ] > [ LAN ] > [ DHCP server ], you can find the IP address range of RT-AX92U is 192.168.50.2 ~ 192.168.50.254.

Step5: Find [Enable Manual Assignment] and click [Yes] to enable manual assign function.

Step6: In Manually Assigned IP area, please fill in the device MAC address and the IP address binding to this device only.

Client Name (MAC Address) ：Use the dropdown list to choose the device or manual enter the device's MAC address.

IP address ：Enter the IP address that you want to bind to this device. Please make sure the IP address needs to be in the IP pool of your DHCP server.

For example, if the IP pool of your router’s DHCP server is 192.168.50.2~192.168.50.254, you should enter an IP address within this range, like 192.168.50.75.

DNS server (Optional) ：Default is blank. You can enter the preferred DNS server if needed.

Step7: Click the "+" icon and the [Apply] button to complete the setting.

Step8: You will be direct to DHCP page if the setting is completed. Please make sure the rule you just set does show up in the manual assign IP list and MAC address/IP address are correct.

1. What is DHCP server?

A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server in ASUS router can provide user's devices a private IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway, DNS server that user does not need to manual assign IP for devices.

2. Why can't I manual assign IP to my device successfully after following the steps?

a. Please make sure you've set and apply the rule successfully and you can see the rule show up in the manual assign IP list.

b. Please make sure the device MAC address is correct. c. Please make sure your device's network card is set to obtain IP automatically. d. Please upgrade your router to latest firmware and reset your router to default status and try again from Step1.

For how to do firmware upgrade, please refer to: [Wireless] How to update the firmware of your router to the latest version ?

For how to reset router, please refer to: [Wireless Router] How to reset the router to factory default setting?

3. Can I change to the IP address after rule is set?

No. If you want to assign a different IP address for same device, you need to click the delete button to remove this rule and apply the setting first then back to Step4 to set a new rule again.

How to set router to assign static IP address automatically to Windows 10

You can configure your router to assign a static IP address configuration automatically without changing the Windows 10 settings, and here's how to do it.

I need your help. Donate

On Windows 10, a static IP address is a recommended configuration for many scenarios, such as when sharing files, printers, media, and other services.

If the device doesn’t include a static IP address, services will eventually stop working. Usually, because computers connected to a network receive their Internet Protocol (IP) address configuration from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, which are dynamic and temporary.

Typically, you would assign a static IP address using the Windows 10 settings , but you can also set the dynamically assigned networking configuration from the DHCP server as the static configuration using the router settings.

In this guide , you’ll learn the steps to configure your router’s DHCP server to assign a static IP address to a computer without the need to change the networking settings on Windows 10 .

How to convert dynamic IP address to static using binding

How to assign static ip address using dhcp server.

Use these steps to make a DHCP assigned IP address configuration static on Windows 10:

Open Router web interface.

Click on Network Map from the left pane.

Click on the Clients button.

Under the “Client status list” section, click the computer you want to change its configuration.

Turn on the MAC and IP Address Binding toggle switch.

How to Set a Static IP Address on a Windows PC

You can learn how to set up a static IP address on your computer. Here's how.

While most of the internet runs on dynamic addresses these days, static addresses are sometimes helpful to use as well. Whether you need to run a server of your own, set up external devices or services, or are just simply looking to explore, before you get your hands dirty, you need to know your way around and be super careful while setting up an IP address.

Moreover, there's more than one way to go about this. So, one by one, let's look at all the ways you can easily set up a static IP address on your Windows.

Static IP Addresses: The Whys and Hows

An IP address of a computer that stays the same over time is known as a Static IP address . This is in contrast to a dynamic IP Address, which is an address that can tweak over time.

Today, most devices use a dynamic IP address because of their ease of use and management. However, in rare cases, Static IP addresses can become handy. Some of those cases include:

When you have external devices that you can only connect to your network through your IP address.
When you connect to other networks through a VPN.
Static IP addresses can make hosting a server somewhat easier.

Because of a slew of such benefits, using a Static IP address can make your life super easy in some situations. So, now let's look at the different methods you can use to set up a static IP address for yourself.

How to Set a Static IP Address on Windows 11

Like most things on Windows, you have multiple ways to do this. Let's look at the most straightforward method first, which is using Windows Settings.

Here's how you can set a static IP Address using the Windows settings:

Head to the Start menu search bar, type in 'settings,' and select the best match. Alternatively, press the Windows Key + I to launch the Settings menu.
Then head to Network & internet settings .
Look for the Properties button. It's right next to your connection settings.
Scroll down and look for the IP assignment section. Then click on Edit .
In the new Edit IP settings dialog box, click on the scroll-down menu and select Manual .
Toggle on the switch for the IPv4 button.
Fill in all the network details here, including the IP address , Subnet mask , Gateway , and then click on Save .

Follow the above steps meticulously, and your Windows 11 will have a new static IP address from here on.

How to Set Up a Static IP Address on Windows 10

The basics of setting up an IP Address in Windows 10 are similar. Even though the implementation of steps might differ here and there, you have to follow a pattern that's pretty much the same. Here's how:

Open the Windows 10 Settings.
Click on Network & Internet .
Depending on how you are connected to the Internet, select Wi-Fi or Ethernet .
Select the current network connection.
Toggle on the IPv4 switch.
Set up the static IP address here and fill in other relevant information, such as the Preferred DNS , Default Gateway , etc.
Click on Save .

After you are done, you will have a new static IP address on your PC from here on.

How to Set Up a Static IP With Command Prompt

The above method, using the Settings GUI, is only one of the ways to tweak your IP address settings. For those of you who tilt more towards a command line rather than a simple click-and-play GUI, luckily, alternatives exist. For instance, you can also use the Command prompt, and set up the address with just a few commands.

To change up your IP address through your Command Prompt, follow the below steps:

Head to the Start menu search bar, type in 'cmd,' and launch the cmd as administrator.
Type in the following command in the cmd and hit Enter : ipconfig /all
Subnet mask
Default Gateway
DNS Servers
Type in the following command to assign static IP address on your Windows and hit Enter : netsh interface ip set address name= "Ethernet1" static 10.1.4.220 255.255.255.0 10.1.4.1 In the above command, replace Ethernet1 with the name of your adapter, and change 10.1.4.220 255.255.255.0 10.1.4.1 with the device IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address corresponding to your network configuration
Now type the following command to set up a DNS server address and hit Enter : netsh interface ip set dns name= "Ethernet1" static 10.1.4.1

That's it. Your new static IP address will be set up from here.

How to Set Up a Static IP Address With PowerShell

PowerShell is another tool primarily handy for power users, designed to give them more control and management capabilities through task automation. If any of the above methods fail, you can also use PowerShell to set up the Static IP Address. Here’s how you can get started:

Head to the Start menu search bar, type in ‘powershell,’ and run it as administrator.
Type the following command to view your current network configuration and press Enter : Get-NetIPConfiguration
InterfaceIndex
IPv4Address
IPv4DefaultGateway
Type in the following command to set up a static IP address and hit Enter : New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceIndex 10 -IPAddress 10.1.4.119 -PrefixLength 24 -DefaultGateway 10.1.4.1
Here, replace all values of information. Replace the InterfaceIndex number (10) with the number assigned to your adapter. Similarly, replace the above IPAddress with a static IP address that you want to set.
Finally, type in the following command to assign the DNS server address and hit Enter : Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex 10 -ServerAddresses 10.1.4.1

Again, replace the InterfaceIndex number (10) with your network’s corresponding number. Also, replace the ServerAddress with the DNS IP address.

You will have a new static IP address as soon as you finish all the above steps.

Setting up a Static IP Address on a Windows PC

Setting up your static IP address doesn't have to be complicated. If you follow the above methods we have laid out above, you should be done without any significant difficulties.

And while static IP address has their uses, dynamic addresses are undoubtedly necessary. So, before you make an important switch, ensure you understand their significant differences well.

How to Set Up a Static IP Address

Dhcp is fine, unless you're looking to perform advanced networking tasks. here's how to set a static ip address (or dhcp reservation) for any device on your network..

An IP address is a unique identifier for a specific device on your network. Your router assigns them to these devices using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). As you connect new devices to the network, they will be assigned the next IP address in the pool, and if a device hasn't connected in a few days, its IP address will "expire" so it can be assigned to something else.

For everyday use, this is perfectly fine, and you will never even notice it happening in the background. But if you regularly SSH into your Raspberry Pi , turn your computer on from across the house with Wake-on-LAN , or perform other advanced networking tasks, DHCP can become an annoyance.

It's hard to remember which IP address is assigned to which device, and if they ever expire, you have to look it up all over again. This is where a static IP address comes in handy. Here's how to set them up.

What is a Static IP Address?

Instead of letting your router assign whatever IP address is free at any given time, you can assign specific IP addresses to the devices you access frequently. For example, I have my home server set to 192.168.1.10, my main desktop to 192.168.1.11, and so on—easy to remember, sequential, and unchanging.

You can assign these static IP addresses on the device itself—using, say, Windows' network settings on each computer—or you can do it at the router level. If you do it through the router, it will likely be called a DHCP reservation, though many people (and even some routers ) still refer to it as a "static IP address."

DHCP reservations allow you to easily set everything up in one place with all your computers left at their default settings. Your computer will ask for an IP address via DHCP, and your router will assign it the one you reserved, with your computer being none the wiser.

How to Set Up a DHCP Reservation

To set up a DHCP reservation, you need to know your IP address , which is easy enough to find out. You must then head to your router's configuration page —usually by typing its IP address in your browser's navigation bar—and log in. (For mesh Wi-Fi systems , you would use an app instead of a config page.)

The location is different for every config page, but you're looking for something called "DHCP reservations," "static IP addresses," or similar. On my Asus router, for instance, it's in the LAN settings category.

To assign a reservation, you need the MAC address of the device in question. This is a unique string of characters that identifies a particular network adapter, and you can usually find it in your router's list of connected devices . Make sure you're getting the MAC address for the correct network adapter—if you have both Ethernet and Wi-Fi on your computer, you have one MAC address for each.

On your router's config page, enter an easy-to-remember label for the device (like "Whitson's Desktop PC"), the MAC address, and your desired IP address. Save your changes, and repeat the process for any other IP addresses you want to reserve.

From then on, those devices should have your reserved IP addresses assigned to them, and you will never have to look them up again.

Manual Network Configuration in Linux and How to Set a Static IP Address

Last updated: April 3, 2023

Administration

1. Introduction

Many Linux distributions come with a network manager. In theory, it should help during the networking setup. Yet, we might not always want to install or use managers when setting up an interface. Moreover, a network manager is often just a convenient abstraction or interface to the configuration files of a Linux distribution.

In this tutorial, we look at standard low-level files and tools to configure our IP address settings . We start off by briefly discussing dynamic and static addresses. After picking static IP network configuration as an example, we look at a universal way to perform it under Linux. Next, we explore network managers in detail. Finally, we show our main example in action on multiple Linux distributions.

For brevity, we only use IPv4 instead of IPv6 and static instead of dynamic addresses, but most concepts apply to all variants.

We tested the code in this tutorial on Debian 11 (Bullseye), CentOS Stream 9, Slackware 15.0, Gentoo 2.8, and ArchLinux Rolling (2022.10.01). It should work in most POSIX-compliant environments.

2. Dynamic and Static IP Address

When using a static IP, the operating system (OS) knows that we have two requirements for a given interface:

a specific IP address
full control over the address assignment

Since the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can take the Media Access Control (MAC) address into account when assigning the network-layer address, we might still automatically receive the same IP on each connection with that protocol. Moreover, the client can usually specify a preference.

However, whether we get the same IP address with DHCP might depend on many factors, some of which are external :

DHCP server IP reservation
same DHCP server
unchanged DHCP server configuration
same network interface card (NIC) or MAC address

Thus, we give up control of our network-layer address, which may become inconvenient when it’s our sole means to identify a system. For example, switching environments can lead to a new IP. If we don’t have remotely-resolvable hostnames or domain names, we’d need this new IP when using access protocols like SSH . Further, a name (type) on one network could be unrecognizable on another.

On the other hand, a static IP ensures we always assign the same address . Of course, this comes with its own problems:

manual settings might not comply with a given environment
might have to change configuration depending on the network
can lead to IP address conflicts, especially on smaller networks

Still, for stationary machines and the proper administration, a static address is usually more of a convenience than a burden . So, we use that as our example configuration.

3. Static IP on Linux

While there are many managers, graphical user interface (GUI) front-ends, and command-line interface (CLI) utilities for network settings, many boil down to the ip command, which supersedes ifconfig .

Let’s use ip to acquire and set our NIC configuration.

3.1. Current Settings

First, we check our current setup:

Here, we have an IPv4 ( inet ) address of 192.168.6.2 with its associated 192.168.6.255 broadcast and several specifiers. Of the latter, dynamic means the system uses DHCP to set up the connection . Let’s confirm this:

Above, we use grep to case-insensitively filter for dhcp in the system log from the last boot as returned by journalctl . Consequently, we see the setup of our eth1 interface with the address 192.168.6.2 .

3.2. Consider DHCP

In most recent Linux distributions, disabling DHCP comes down to controlling a daemon for the server ( dhcpd ) or client ( dhcpcd ):

However, there are several pitfalls:

we might not need to disable DHCP at all if it’s properly configured
the daemon name and control mechanisms can vary
on older systems, DHCP client calls can instead be in other services
custom solutions can provide and force DHCP depending on the Linux distribution

Because of this, how and whether we turn DHCP off depends on the system and our needs.

3.3. Temporary Static IP via ip

Now, let’s use ip to set a static IP on eth1 :

After flushing all addresses and routes from eth1 , we add a new static address and gateway. Next, we verify the settings by confirming that dynamic is no longer present in the interface characteristics. However, a system reboot now would wipe our network setup and restore the IP to what DHCP provides .

3.4. Permanent Static IP via ip

To make the settings we applied remain the same between reboots, we can run a script on startup , which includes the ip lines above, along with any other related commands. Naturally, the exact way depends on the Linux distribution.

4. Network Managers

Using a manager can be critical for complex setups. Yet, even a one-interface machine can benefit from the features network managers provide:

seamlessly detect networks
automatically configure connections
maintain and switch between configuration profiles
support multiple protocols, wireless and wired

Critically, network managers are feature-rich abstractions to the network configuration files of a given system . While there are many Linux network managers like Connman , netctl , and wicd , three are ubiquitous:

System V (SysV) network(ing) services
systemd ‘s systemd-networkd
NetworkManager

Since most Linux distributions migrated to systemd , the first of these is now mostly deprecated, although still widely supported. Importantly, SysV network(ing) service configuration files provide the original framework commonly used by other network management solutions .

4.1. Identify Network Managers

Before doing any network configuration on a Linux system, we should identify and disable unused network managers. Thus, it’s usually a good idea to start by checking for any related services:

In this case, we use grep to search for the keyword network in the list of services. While not foolproof, this is a good first step. Consequently, we see NetworkManager is active and running .

4.2. Control Network Managers

We can simply use systemctl to detect and toggle most service-based network managers. For example, we can easily replace one manager with another where available:

Notably, the *-wait-online and other secondary daemons that each solution offers are also part of the packages. While the enable and disable lines are optional, running conflicting services or configurations of any kind is considered bad practice and can lead to severe issues and system instability , especially regarding networking.

Of course, with services of this kind, any setup should be easier to configure and maintain. Adding to that, most managers have a GUI, terminal user interface (TUI), or at least a flexible CLI. Unlike ip , settings from network management tools can persist between reboots.

Now, we move to the most persistent, albeit in part, distribution-specific solutions.

5. Static IP on Debian Distributions

Let’s check the default structure of networking configuration files in Debian derivatives such as Kali , Knoppix , Ubuntu , Raspberry Pi OS , and Tails :

Here, the tree command shows the /etc/network/*.d directories for scripts that run before ( pre ), after ( post ), or while an interface ( if ) goes up or down . Next to them, the /etc/network/interfaces file contains the main network interface configuration, sourcing any files in the /etc/network/interfaces.d .

5.1. Add Interface Configuration

By default, to set a static IP on eth1 under Debian-based systems, we add a block to /etc/network/interfaces and remove any other configuration related to eth1 :

Let’s break down the meaning of this block:

auto eth1 enables automatic configuration for this interface during boot
iface eth1 inet static sets eth1 as an IPv4 interface with a static address
address , netmask , and gateway assign the respective addresses and network
dns-nameservers , while not strictly necessary , sets the DNS servers to use

Of course, we can add more options like pre-up /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/secure.sh , which utilizes a script in the if-pre-up.d directory from earlier. Now, we’re ready to apply our configuration.

5.2. Restart Networking or Interface

At this point, we just need to restart networking via SysV with /etc/init.d/networking (deprecated, not recommended), systemd , our network management tool, or directly for changes to take effect , depending on the system version:

Basically, the last command uses the legacy ifupdown package to only toggle the particular interface.

However, NetworkManager can also handle the native Debian network setup files . Importantly, the method of choice depends more on the version of the system and less on our preferences.

5.3. Confirm Setup

Finally, we can verify the new settings:

Here, we see our changes are in effect via ip .

6. Static IP in RedHat and Other RPM Distributions

Again, we start by briefly looking at the network setup files in RedHat , SUSE , openSUSE , Fedora , CentOS , Oracle Linux , and other RPM -based Linux versions:

By utilizing the -P flag of tree , we can filter only network-related items in the /etc/sysconfig directory. In particular, /etc/sysconfig/network contains global options for all interfaces, while /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-IFNAME files are responsible for configuring interface IFNAME .

6.1. network-scripts and NetworkManager

The SysV-based network-scripts package contains tools and scripts for different functions:

/etc/init.d/network script to stop, start, and restart network components
ifup* , ifdown* , and other /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory scripts
ifup and ifdown native tools for interface state toggling
usernetctl native command for general network configuration

In the case of RedHat and other related distributions, their newer versions have deprecated network-scripts in favor of NetworkManager .

To that end, some tools and scripts are either not available or have become wrappers for nmcli command lines. Consequently, for recent versions of RPM-based distributions, it’s usually best to leave NetworkManager installed, enabled, and started .

As an alternative, we might still be able to install the network-scripts package in its place, but that’s not recommended . If we do go that route, we must stop and disable NetworkManager via systemctl stop NetworkManager NetworkManager-wait-online, and systemctl disable NetworkManager NetworkManager-wait-online .

All of the above means that, while the interface settings files have mostly remained unchanged, their default processing has.

6.2. Create Interface Configuration File

After considering the network setup mechanisms, to configure eth1 with a static IP on RPM distributions, we can simply add the necessary options in a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 file :

As before, let’s check what the options mean:

DEVICE=eth1 ensures we have the correct interface name
BOOTPROTO is dhcp for DHCP, but our static configuration doesn’t require any protocol, so we use none
ONBOOT=yes , similar to Debian’s auto , indicates the interface should be activated on boot
IPADDR , NETMASK , GATEWAY , and BROADCAST are all set to their respective values for our static address
DNS1 and DNS2 optionally set DNS servers
USERCTL=no prevents non- superusers to control the interface
NM_CONTROLLED=no stops NetworkManager from managing the interface

Of course, there are many other settings .

6.3. Restart Networking or Interface

Naturally, the changes are applied once we restart the networking .

There are two options for that:

with systemd
directly via network-scripts with /etc/rc.d/init.d/network (deprecated, not recommended)

By default, we’d use nmcli or the NetworkManager service:

If we have them disabled, we can use basic tooling:

Once again, the last command only restarts eth1 . Also, the method of choice depends on the version of the system and our needs.

6.4. Confirm Setup

Now, we can confirm eth1 has the correct settings:

Here, we see that our interface has a static IP address.

7. Static IP in Slackware Distributions

In Slackware and its related distributions like Slax and Absolute Linux , the system startup goes through the original /etc/rc.d network file framework:

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet2

Of these, /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 ensures we have a network, while /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf sets the properties of our interfaces .

7.1. Disable Network Managers

Indeed, recent Slackware versions often come with NetworkManager by default . Still, external network management solutions can interfere with our manual settings or add more on top of them. Because of this, we stop and disable NetworkManager and any other similar services:

At this point, we can move on with the internal network setup mechanism.

7.2. Modify Interface Configuration

Basically, to configure a static IP address for eth1 on Slackware-based distributions, we can simply replace or add options for that interface in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf :

Notably, the matching numbers ( 0 ) within square brackets indicate settings for the same interface . Also, unlike other methods, there are no options for DNS servers, as Slackware uses only /etc/resolv.conf by default. Of course, we don’t set values for DHCP options.

7.3. Restart Networking

In Slackware-based Linux versions, the built-in networking restart mechanism is the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 script:

Now, we can confirm our new settings:

Conveniently, Slackware-based distributions also include the netconfig tool . It provides an interactive way to configure most network settings.

8. Static IP in Gentoo Distributions

Because Gentoo and its family are commonly source-based and highly flexible, we can perform their initialization process with many init systems .

By default, it’s the OpenRC init system, very similar to Slackware’s. Further, Gentoo uses Netifrc as its default integrated network configuration framework :

/etc/conf.d/net for general interface setup (usually created by an administrator)
/etc/init.d/net.lo and /etc/init.d/net.* scripts to control interfaces

Because of this, interface setup means editing /etc/conf.d/net and creating the related service script for that interface . Of course, keeping with the general philosophy of Gentoo, we can remove or ignore the netifrc package in favor of external managers.

8.1. Add Interface Configuration

By default, to set a static IP on eth1 on Gentoo-based systems, we modify /etc/conf.d/net with our settings :

Here, options refer to the interface name with a suffix. The configuration is similar to the options of ip .

Next, to control the interface, we have to create a respectively-named script by making a symbolic link with ln to /etc/init.d/net.lo :

In case /etc/init.d/net.lo is missing, we can acquire it via emerge :

Thus, we restored /etc/init.d/net.lo .

8.2. Restart the Interface

At this point, we are ready to start or restart our interface service net.eth1 with the new configuration:

Usually, the warning can safely be ignored.

To apply the settings on each restart, we add the script via OpenRC’s rc-update :

Further, we can do the same via systemctl where available:

Similar to Slackware’s netconfig , Gentoo includes the net-setup script for interactive network configuration.

9. Static IP in ArchLinux Distributions

Since ArchLinux is built from scratch, its family, including Manjaro and others , usually doesn’t provide its own network configuration framework. Instead, they integrate and leverage the framework of systemd-networkd by default:

This is more or less in contrast with Gentoo. Essentially, we can set a static IP in ArchLinux via systemd-networkd by creating a /etc/systemd/network/eth1.network file :

Now, we just disable DHCP and restart systemd-networkd :

At this point, we should have the correct static IP on eth1 .

10. Summary

In this article, we looked at network configuration under many different Linux distributions, with the main example of setting a static IP address.

In conclusion, while the way we configure our network setup can vary widely between Linux versions, there are also universal ways to perform it.

How to Set a Static IP Address on Raspberry Pi

Make sure your Pi has the same IP every time you boot.

If you're trying to access a Raspberry Pi on your local network, there are times when you'll really need its IP address. Sure, you can usually SSH or VNC into a Pi by using its hostname, but for something like port forwarding on a router (which you'll use to create an externally-accessible Minecraft server or web server), an actual IP v4 address may be needed. The problem: every time you reboot your Pi, the IP address can change, based on what the router decides to assign at the moment.

Fortunately, there's a simple way to make sure that your Raspberry Pi always gets the same IP address on your local network or, at least, always tries to get the same address on your local network. It almost goes without saying that if, at the time it boots, another device that's powered on is already using the address in question, your Pi will either have no IP v4 address at all or (if you configured it as such) it will choose an alternative one. So keep that in mind.

Note that this tutorial assumes you already have a Raspberry Pi that's connected to your network. If not, please see our tutorials on how to set up a Raspberry Pi and how to set up a headless Raspberry Pi (no monitor required).

How to Assign a Static IP to a Raspberry Pi

1. Determine your Raspberry PI's current IP v4 address if you don't already know it. The easiest way to do this is by using the hostname -I command at the command prompt. If you know its hostname, you can also ping the Pi from a different computer on the network.

2. Get your router's IP address if you don't already know it. The easiest way to do this is to use the command ip r and take the address that appears after "default via."

3. Get the IP address of your DNS (domain name server) by enter the command below. This may or may not be the same as your router's IP.

Now that you have the IP address your Pi is currently using, the router's IP address and the DNS IP address, you can edit the appropriate configuration file.

4. Open /etc/dhcpcd.conf for editing in nano.

5. Add the following lines to the bottom of the file. If such lines already exist and are not commented out, remove them.

Replace the comments in brackets in the box below with the correct information. Interface will be either wlan0 for Wi-Fi or eth0 for Ethernet.

In our case, it looked like this.

You may wish to substitute "inform" for "static" on the last line. Using inform means that the Raspberry Pi will attempt to get the IP address you requested, but if it's not available, it will choose another. If you use static, it will have no IP v4 address at all if the requested one is in use.

6. Save the file by hitting CTRL + X and reboot .

From now on, upon each boot, the Pi will attempt to obtain the static ip address you requested.

Using the Raspberry Pi OS Guide to Set a Static IP

If you already have all the information about your router's IP and DNS IP, you can configure the static IP address using the Network Preferences menu instead of editing the dhcpcd.conf file.

1. Right click on the network status icon and select the Wireless & Wired Network Settings.

2. Select the appropriate interface . If you're configuring a static IP for Wi-FI, choose wlan0. For Ethernet, choose eth0.

3. Enter the IP addresses into the relevant fields. Your desired IP address will be in the IPv4 field, followed by a /24. Your router's IP and DNS server's IP will be in the fields named after them.

4. Click Apply , close the window and reboot your Pi.

Your Pi will now attempt to use your desired IP address at each boot. However, the Network Preferences menu sets this as a preference, not an absolute. So, if the IP address you asked for is not available, it will use another.

Use a static public IP address and DNS label with the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) load balancer

25 contributors

When you create a load balancer resource in an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster, the public IP address assigned to it is only valid for the lifespan of that resource. If you delete the Kubernetes service, the associated load balancer and IP address are also deleted. If you want to assign a specific IP address or retain an IP address for redeployed Kubernetes services, you can create and use a static public IP address.

This article shows you how to create a static public IP address and assign it to your Kubernetes service.

Before you begin

You need the Azure CLI version 2.0.59 or later installed and configured. Run az --version to find the version. If you need to install or upgrade, see Install Azure CLI .
This article covers using a Standard SKU IP with a Standard SKU load balancer. For more information, see IP address types and allocation methods in Azure .

Create an AKS cluster

Create an Azure resource group using the az group create command.

Create an AKS cluster using the az aks create command.

Create a static IP address

Create a static public IP address using the az network public ip create command.

If you're using a Basic SKU load balancer in your AKS cluster, use Basic for the --sku parameter when defining a public IP. Only Basic SKU IPs work with the Basic SKU load balancer and only Standard SKU IPs work with Standard SKU load balancers.

Get the name of the node resource group using the az aks show command and query for the nodeResourceGroup property.

Get the static public IP address using the az network public-ip list command. Specify the name of the node resource group and public IP address you created, and query for the ipAddress .

Create a service using the static IP address

Ensure the cluster identity used by the AKS cluster has delegated permissions to the node resource group using the az role assignment create command.

If you customized your outbound IP, make sure your cluster identity has permissions to both the outbound public IP and the inbound public IP.

Create a file named load-balancer-service.yaml and copy in the contents of the following YAML file, providing your own public IP address created in the previous step and the node resource group name.

Adding the loadBalancerIP property to the load balancer YAML manifest is deprecating following upstream Kubernetes . While current usage remains the same and existing services are expected to work without modification, we highly recommend setting service annotations instead. To set service annotations, you can use service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-ipv4 for an IPv4 address and service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-ipv6 for an IPv6 address, as shown in the example YAML.

Adding the service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-pip-name annotation ensures the most efficient LoadBalancer creation and is highly recommended to avoid potential throttling.

Set a public-facing DNS label to the service using the service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-dns-label-name service annotation. This publishes a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for your service using Azure's public DNS servers and top-level domain. The annotation value must be unique within the Azure location, so we recommend you use a sufficiently qualified label. Azure automatically appends a default suffix in the location you selected, such as <location>.cloudapp.azure.com , to the name you provide, creating the FQDN.

If you want to publish the service on your own domain, see Azure DNS and the external-dns project.

Create the service and deployment using the kubectl apply command.

To see the DNS label for your load balancer, use the kubectl describe service command.

The DNS label will be listed under the Annotations , as shown in the following condensed example output:

Troubleshoot

If the static IP address defined in the loadBalancerIP property of the Kubernetes service manifest doesn't exist or hasn't been created in the node resource group and there are no other delegations configured, the load balancer service creation fails. To troubleshoot, review the service creation events using the kubectl describe command. Provide the name of the service specified in the YAML manifest, as shown in the following example:

The output shows you information about the Kubernetes service resource. The following example output shows a Warning in the Events : " user supplied IP address was not found ." In this scenario, make sure you created the static public IP address in the node resource group and that the IP address specified in the Kubernetes service manifest is correct.

For more control over the network traffic to your applications, you may want to create an ingress controller . You can also create an ingress controller with a static public IP address .

How To Assign A Static IP Address To Your Windows Computer

You may need to connect your Room Alert Monitor directly to your Windows computer for troubleshooting purposes if you are experiencing one of the following issues:

Your network is not DCHP-enabled, and you need to discover and then set a static IP on your Room Alert Monitor.
You are having difficulty discovering your Room Alert Monitor and other advanced methods have not worked.
You are having issues loading the Room Alert Monitor’s Status or Settings pages that other troubleshooting methods have not resolved.

Before you connect your Room Alert directly to your computer, you’ll need to give the computer a static IP address. To do so, please follow these steps:

1. Open the Network and Sharing Center on your computer. In Windows 10, you may open it by navigating to Start → Windows System → Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network and Sharing Center . In earlier versions of Windows, the navigation will differ slightly.

2. Select Change adapter settings from the links to the left of the Network and Sharing Center screen.

3. Right-click on your regular Ethernet connection and select Properties .

4. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) by clicking on it once and then select Properties .

5. In the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties dialog box, select Use the following IP address .

6. Enter an IP Address and Subnet mask for your computer. What you enter depends on how your Room Alert Monitor is configured. Please select one of the choices below for further instructions.

– In IP Address , enter a 169.254.xxx.xxx address, such as 169.254.1.1.

– In Subnet mask, enter 255.255.0.0.

– You may leave the other choices either blank or at their original settings. When you are connecting a Room Alert directly to your computer, these other items are not used.

– Then select OK .

– In IP Address , enter an IP address within the range of your Room Alert Monitor.

– In Subnet mask, enter the same subnet mask that your Room Alert Monitor has.

For example:

If your Room Alert’s static IP address is 192.168.2.50 and its subnet mask is 255.255.255.0,

you could enter 192.168.2.2 (IP) and 255.255.255.0 (subnet) for your computer.

– You may leave the other choices either blank or at their original settings. When you are connecting a Room Alert directly to your computer, these other items are not used.

3 Easy Ways To Set A Static IP Address On Raspberry Pi

When you plug a Raspberry Pi into the network and boot it, it will generally get a “random” IP from the DHCP DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a system that automatically assigns IP addresses to... server. This IP address might change almost every time you use it, which is not convenient at all. Let’s see how to set a fixed IP address, so the Raspberry Pi always use the same one.

There are three ways to set a static IP address on Raspberry Pi: assign an IP address to your Raspberry Pi in the router configuration, set a static IP in the desktop environment, or change the dhcpcd.conf configuration file to always use the same IP.

We’ll explore these 3 methods, but first, let’s make sure you understand your current network, it’s an important prerequisite to avoid any IP address conflicts or network malfunctions.

If you’re looking to quickly progress on Raspberry Pi, you can check out my e-book here . It’s a 30-day challenge where you learn one new thing every day until you become a Raspberry Pi expert. The first third of the book teaches you the basics, but the following chapters include projects you can try on your own.

Prerequisites: Understand the network configuration

I put the word “random” in quotation marks in my introduction because there is nothing truly random with computers. Before picking an IP address and trying to configure it on the Raspberry Pi, we need to take a few minutes to study the current network.

Get the IP address of your router

On most networks, especially at home, the main router is your Internet provider box. It provides Internet access for all devices and is often the DHCP server too (the main equipment in charge of assigning IP addresses to all devices).

By accessing its web interface, you can generally get a clearer overview of the network configuration.

The IP address of the router is mentioned as the gateway when you check the network configuration of any device connected to it.

From a Raspberry Pi or Linux computer, you can use this command to find the IP address: route -n

In my case, my router IP address is 192.168.222.1 (because I configured it). But in most cases, it will be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254.

On Windows, you can use the system settings, or start a command prompt, and type: ipconfig

Once you have the IP address, you can try to access the web interface via your web browser. It will be password protected, so you may need to find your Internet provider documentation to access it.

Once connected, I recommend doing two things to make sure you don’t do anything wrong by using one of the three methods mentioned in the article:

Find the DHCP range for the clients , meaning the list of IP addresses that can be assigned automatically by your router (if possible, your static IP should be outside this range).
Find the already used IP addresses , to avoid any conflict.

I’ll show you how to do this now.

Get the DHCP range

First, you need to find the DHCP range. In general, you have a network that goes from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254, but the DHCP range is maybe only from 1.100 to 1.150. This will be useful to avoid any conflict.

We don’t want to set the Raspberry Pi IP address to 1.110 if the DHCP may assign it to your computer.

You can also find this information in your DHCP server configuration (so your Internet provider router in most cases). For me, it looks like this:

Well, I guess my configuration is not typical, as it covers all the IP addresses, probably because I changed it. A smart move, if you have something similar, would be to reduce the range (from 222.2 to 222.100 for example).

If you find that your DHCP range is from 1.100 to 1.150 for example, we’ll just avoid picking an IP address in this range. You can, for example, use 1.160 if it’s not taken by another device with a static IP.

How do you know? That’s the last step before changing the Raspberry Pi configuration.

Get a list of the currently used IP addresses

To be safe, it’s a good practice to get a list of the IP addresses that are currently used on the network. This can be done from the router interface directly, or via a network scan.

On the router configuration page, you may have access to a list of all the computers and other devices connected to your network, with their current IP addresses. Not only the one assigned by the DHCP server but all of them.

This will give a good overview of the current state of the network. If you can’t find this, don’t worry, you can also do a network scan.

From a Windows computer, you can also use the Advanced IP Scanner tool, which will give you something like:

And on Linux, you can install nmap with: sudo apt install nmap And use it to do a network scan: nmap -sP <network> | grep report So, for example:

In most cases, your DHCP server assigns IP addresses at the beginning of the range . In both examples, all IP addresses are given between 2 and 40. IP addresses 100 and 150 are static IPs. So, if I pick something like 200 for my Raspberry Pi, it should be safe (192.168.222.200).

At this point, you should know which IP address you’ll configure on your Raspberry Pi. I’ll give you 2 methods, one from the desktop environment, and the other one in the command lines.

Are you a bit lost in the Linux command line? Check this article first for the most important commands to remember and a free downloadable cheat sheet so you can have the commands at your fingertips.

Set a static IP for the Raspberry Pi on the router

The easiest way to set a static IP address for the Raspberry Pi is to assign it a static lease in the DHCP server configuration (most likely your Internet router).

The interface will be slightly different for each provider and router brand, but in my case, it looks like this:

I can pick the name of any device on my network, and set a static IP address. I can also enter a MAC address if the device is not listed (here is how to find the MAC address on Raspberry Pi ).

If you can find something similar on your router, it would be the easiest solution. Nothing to change on the Raspberry Pi, and even when you reinstall the Raspberry Pi, it will stay with the same IP address.

It will also avoid most issues as it’s configured directly on the DHCP server.

Set a static IP on Raspberry Pi OS Desktop

On Raspberry Pi OS Desktop, a static IP address can be set manually by editing the wireless and wired network settings. Right-click on the network icon in the top-right panel, open the settings and fill the configuration manually.

Here are the exact steps:

Right-click on the network icon in the right corner of the top panel.

Take a free IP address to put in the “IPv4 address”. If possible, try to pick something outside the DHCP range. But in general, DHCP servers are smart enough to not assign an IP address that is already taken. Don’t forget the network mask at the end (/24) or it won’t work.
The router IP address we got earlier with: route -n
And the DNS DNS, or Domain Name System, is like the phonebook of the internet. Instead of remembering... server is often the same for a home network. You can either check your current configuration with: cat /etc/resolv.conf And use the same IP. Or use a public DNS server, like the one offered by Google (8.8.8.8) or OpenDNS (208.67.222.222). If you use Pi-Hole or AdGuard, you obviously need to adjust this and set it to the other Raspberry Pi IP address.
Click “Apply” to save the changes , and then “Close” (it doesn’t close automatically).

To really apply the changes, you need to reboot the Raspberry Pi (main menu > Shutdown > Reboot), unplug/plug the network cable, or disable/enable the Wi-Fi interface.

After the reboot or reconnection, you can put your mouse over the network icon to find out if your IP address has changed to the configured static IP address ( more details here ).

Set a static IP via the command line

On a Lite edition of Raspberry Pi OS, a static IP address can be configured in /etc/dhcpcd.conf. It will force the system to use this IP address instead of the one assigned by the DHCP server.

Here are the steps to follow:

Open the configuration file with: sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

Change the interface if needed (eth0 for a wired connection, wlan0 with Wi-fi).
Change the IP addresses according to your network. The first one is the IP address you want to use, followed by the network mask (/24 in most cases). The second is your gateway (the Internet router in general). And finally, the DNS server (often the router if you didn’t change it).

And that’s it. Once, you have a good idea of your network configuration and know where to change the Raspberry Pi configuration, it’s not that complicated.

Does a Raspberry Pi need a static IP?

Using a static IP on Raspberry Pi is convenient, but not mandatory. Its utility is minimal for desktop use. For servers, a unique hostname serves the same purpose as a static IP address in most cases.

For specific network servers (DNS, DHCP, ad-blocker, etc.) where you use the IP address in the clients configuration, it’s recommended to set a static IP. But when the hostname can be use, or a quick scan done, it’s not mandatory.

How to set a static IP address before booting?

The easiest way to set a static IP address before booting is to assign a reserved IP address in the DHCP server configuration. The MAC address is the only information required, the system doesn’t matter.

You can follow the instructions given in the first method listed in this article to know how to do this on your router.

What’s the difference between a public and private IP addresses?

Public IP addresses identify devices on the internet, enabling global access to the Raspberry Pi. Private IP addresses are used within local networks, like home setups, allowing communication with devices such as your main computer.

If your goal is to give access to your Raspberry Pi via Internet from anywhere in the world, you should probably read this: How to Install and Use No-IP on Raspberry Pi? (Dynamic DNS) .

Configure a load balancer service to use a static public IP

This content is authored by Red Hat experts, but has not yet been tested on every supported configuration.

This guide demonstrates how to create and assign a static public IP address to an OpenShift service in Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO). By default, the public IP address assigned to an OpenShift service with a type of LoadBalancer created by an ARO cluster is only valid for the lifespan of that resource. If you delete the OpenShift service, the associated load balancer and IP address are also deleted. If you want to assign a specific IP address or retain an IP address for redeployed OpenShift services, you can create and use a static public IP address.

This guide will walk through the following steps:

Create a new static public IP address.
Grant the Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) cluster’s service principal access to the parent resource group.

Create the load balancer service and assign the static public IP address.

Prerequisites.

An existing ARO cluster. If you need an ARO cluster, see the quickstart here .
The Azure CLI. If you need to install the Azure CLI, see the Microsoft documentation here external link (opens in new tab) .

Before you begin

Before we begin, we need to set a few environment variables that will help us run the commands included in the guide.

Create a new static public IP address

Create a static public IP address by using the az network public ip create command. The following command creates a static IP resource using the name you specified above in the parent resource group of the cluster object. To create the IP, run the following command:

The static public IP address provisioned is displayed as a part of the output of the command. It will look something like this:

Grant the Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) cluster’s service principal access to the parent resource group

Next, we must grant the Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) cluster’s service principal access to the network resources of the parent resource group where we’ve created the static public IP. This must be done because the public IP lives outside of the cluster’s managed resource group (which starts with aro- ). To grant the necessary access, run the following command:

Finally, we need to create a LoadBalancer service inside of OpenShift that specifies the static public IP address, as well as the parent resource group. Next, generate the necessary YAML for the LoadBalancer service with the loadBalancerIP property and resource group annotation set. To do so, run the following command, making sure to replace the variables specified:

Feel free to further modify this output (which is saved in your current directory as pip-service.yaml ).

Finally, apply the service configuration to the cluster by running the following command (note this will deploy the service directly into the current namespace):

The cluster should provision the load balancer within a minute or two. You can verify this by running the following command:

The output will look similar to this:

You can now access your load balancer using the IP address provided!

Connect to the internet using a static IP address in AirPort Utility on Mac

When you use AirPort Utility Setup Assistant to set up your new base station or extend an existing network, it automatically configures the best settings for your network. It’s recommended that you manually configure your base station’s settings only if instructed to do so by your ISP or network administrator.

That said, if your ISP gave you an IP address with your account, as well as other information such as a subnet mask and router address, you can manually configure your base station to connect to the internet using a static IP address.

Open AirPort Utility for me

In the graphical overview , select the base station you want to configure, then click Edit. You may need to enter a password for the base station.

Click Internet, click the Connect Using pop-up menu, then choose Static.

Enter the following information from your ISP:

An IPv4 address

A subnet mask

A router address

At least one DNS or IPv6 DNS server address

Important: Don’t modify the Domain Name field unless you’re instructed to do so by your ISP or network administrator.

Click Update to save your changes.
