This document discusses how to manually set a static IP address on a Linux system using the nmcli command line tool. It provides instructions to check current network interfaces and IP addresses, modify the enps03 interface to use a static IP of 192.168.2.20/24 with a gateway of 192.168.2.1 and DNS of 8.8.8.8, change the addressing method to manual, activate the connection, and confirm the new static IP address is active.
Setup ip address manually using nmcli command
- 1. Setup Ip address manually using nmcli command To display all the active network interfaces on your Linux system execute the command. $ nmcli connection show OR $ nmcli con show $ nmcli connection show OR $ nmcli con show Note that con is the truncated form of connection and you will still end up with the same result as shown. Check Active Network Interfaces Also, you can run the command below to display both active and inactive interfaces.
- 2. $ nmcli dev status Check All Network Interfaces Set Static IP Address Using nmcli Tool Using nmcli tool, you can modify a network interface to use a static IP address. In this example, we will modify the network interface enps03 to use a static IP. But first, letās check the IP address using IP command. $ ip addr
- 3. Check Network IP Address The current IP address is 192.168.2.104 with a CIDR of /24. We are going to configure a static IP with the following values: IP address: 192.168.2.20/24 Default gateway: 192.168.2.1 Preferred DNS: 8.8.8.8 IP addressing static First, run the command below to set up the IP address. $ nmcli con mod enps03 ipv4.addresses 192.168.2.20/24 Next, configure the default gateway as shown:
- 4. $ nmcli con mod enps03 ipv4.gateway 192.168.2.1 Then set up the DNS server: $ nmcli con mod enps03 ipv4.dns ā8.8.8.8ā Next , change the addressing from DHCP to static. $ nmcli con mod enps03 ipv4.method manual Set Static IP in RHEL 8 To save the changes, run the command $ nmcli con up enps03
- 5. Active IP Address of Network The changes will be written to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg- enps03 file. To confirm the IP, once again run the command: $ ip addr enps03 Check IP Address Additionally, you can view the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg- enps03 file using cat command. $ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enps03
- 6. View Network Interface File And this concludes this guide on configuring network connection using ānmcliā command-line tool on Linux. We hope you found this guide helpful.
