How to Set a Static IP Address on Raspberry Pi

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

Static IP Address for Raspberry Pi

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.

  • alan tracey wootton With an Arduino that is serving a web page one can use mDns instead of keeping track of the local IP address.

I'm sure this works for a Pi also even though I haven't tried it yet. mDns might be on by default.

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 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 network configuration manually 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

raspbian set static ip address eth0

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

raspbian set static ip address eth0

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:

raspbian set static ip address eth0

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:

raspbian set static ip address eth0

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:

raspbian set static ip address eth0

The grep command is used as a filter, to only show the lines we are interested in ( more details here ).

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:

raspbian set static ip address eth0

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. Click on the network icon in the top-right panel, open the settings and fill the configuration manually.

Here are the exact steps:

  • Click on the network icon in the right corner of the top panel.

raspbian set static ip address eth0

  • Take a free IP address to put in the “Address” field. 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. The network mask (“netmask”) is generally 24 on most networks.
  • The gateway is the router IP address we got earlier with: route -n
  • And the DNS 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 “Save” to apply the changes , and then close everything.

To really apply the changes, you need to restart the network by using one of these methods: 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 ).

Note : This tutorial has been updated for Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, the steps might be slightly different on older versions. And the next section, via the command line, is not working with older versions (you have to edit /etc/dhcpcd.conf in this case).

Set a static IP via the command line

If you don’t have access to the desktop interface, or want to use command lines, you can do the same thing via the network manager configuration tool.

Here are the steps to follow:

  • Open Network Manager UI with: sudo nmtui
  • Choose “Edit connection”

raspbian set static ip address eth0

  • On the next window, scroll the cursor to the “IPv4 Configuration” line and select “Automatic” .

raspbian set static ip address eth0

  • Scroll to the bottom of the form to find the “Ok” button to save and exit the tool (press “ESC” several times after that).

As with the previous solution, the change will only apply on the next connection. You can either disconnect/reconnect your network cable, Wi-Fi or simply reboot the Raspberry Pi: sudo reboot

And that’s it. Once the network is reconnected, the IP address should now be the new one you just set:

raspbian set static ip address eth0

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.

Set up a static IP-address on the Raspberry Pi

By default, the Raspberry Pi will get a dynamically allocated IP-address, meaning it changes as you restart it or potentially when new devices are added to the network. To make it easier to connect and have a more stable connection I recommend to set up a static IP address.

Table of contents

Get a static ip-address, setting-up using the desktop, setting-up with the terminal, prioritising internet interface, disabling static ip-address.

To get a static IP-address that works, it will need to be within the range provided by the router. We will therefore first need to find the router’s ip address. This tends to be written on the bottom of the router. If not, simply open a terminal window and type in netstat -nr . Now look under Gateway :

internet gateway

You can also use the command ip route | grep default | awk '{print $3}' .

In this example it is 192.168.0.1 . Using the router’s ip address we can choose a static ip address in the range between 1 and 255, which will become the last number of your ip-address, e.g. 192.168.0.40 .

Determine if you want a static ip address over WiFi or Ethernet. The interfaces are called respectively wlan0 and eth0 .

It is very simple to set up your static ethernet address. Simply right-click on the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar (top-right on the left of the speaker icon) and select the Wireless & Wired Network Settings .

Now click the empty dropdown menu and select the network interface you want to configure. Now for IPv4 Address enter your chosen ip address, for Router the IP address of the router. AS DNS Servers add 8.8.8.8 . When wanting to add multiple DNSs make sure to add them one after another separate by a space. Finally, click the Disable IPv6 option.

One can also set up a static IP-address via the terminal. For this we need to change the dhcpcd.conf file:

Now scroll to the bottom, and add the following text:

replacing the words in capital by what is desired. Now save the file by pressing ctrl+x then y to exit.

When you are using multiple internet interfaces, such as Ethernet over Wifi, it is important to make sure the internet interface has priority over the other such that you get a working internet connection. To do so, we need to add a metric number to each, with the higher metric being prioritised first. Open the dhcpcd.conf file:

And add the metrics. For example:

Now finally reboot your Raspberry Pi for the changes to be incorporated:

Once your raspberry pi has finished restarting, connect to it locally to verify the static IP address hostname -I or ping from it on a networked computer ping YOURSTATICIP .

In many cases you may not want your Raspberry Pi set to use a static IP address. You can change the network configuration back by editing dhcpcd.conf again ( sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf and removing all the lines you added in the previous steps.

How Do I Set a Static IP Address on Raspberry Pi?

If you're using your Raspberry Pi as a media or game server, setting a static IP address will make things far easier.

If you’re using your Raspberry Pi as a home server or often need to access it remotely from another device, setting a static IP address for it is a very good idea. This means you’ll be able to find it at the same Raspberry Pi static IP address every time, rather than a new address being set dynamically whenever it is rebooted. This is also useful to avoid confusion when you have multiple Raspberry Pi devices connected to your network.

Fortunately, once you know how, it's a fairly simple and quick process to set a Raspberry Pi static IP address. We’ll show you how to change the IP address in Raspberry Pi OS / Raspbian to make it permanent.

What Is an IP Address?

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is used to uniquely identify each device on a computer network, or the network itself on the internet – more on that later. The IP address is normally written in ‘dot-decimal’ notation: four decimal numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255, separated by dots. An example is 192.168.1.107 .

By default in Raspberry Pi OS, which is a Linux-based operating system, your Raspberry Pi’s IP address is reconfigured automatically each time you reboot it, so it may well change. Naturally, this is not ideal when you need a reliable address at which to connect to the Raspberry Pi from another device, such as when using it as a server. So it’s better to set a static IP address on Raspberry Pi.

Private vs. Public IP

A public IP address is used to identify your local network on the wider internet. This typically changes every time your router connects to the internet, although you may be able to make it static depending on your internet service provider.

You can find the public IP address on a Linux system such as Raspberry Pi OS by entering a special Terminal command, or simply by doing a web search for "What's my IP?". It is only required if you intend to connect to a device from outside your network, which we won’t cover here.

Instead, we are looking at the private IP addresses used to identify each device on your own local network. While it may be possible to reserve a certain IP address for your Raspberry Pi in your wireless router’s settings for the same purpose, here we’ll be showing you how to set a static IP from the Raspberry Pi itself.

1. DHCP Configuration

Raspberry Pi OS (formerly known as Raspbian) uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to assign an IP address to the Raspberry Pi automatically whenever it is rebooted. You can find out more in our guide to DHCP .

To change Raspberry Pi OS's behavior so that it uses the same static IP address each time, you will need to modify the configuration file for the DHCP client daemon, dhcpcd.conf .

Before that, you will need some information on your current network setup so that you can add the required details to the configuration file. You will require the following info:

• Type of network connection: This is either wlan0 if your Raspberry Pi is connected to the router wirelessly, or eth0 if it’s connected using an Ethernet cable.

• Raspberry Pi’s currently assigned IP address: it’s safest to reuse this for the Raspberry Pi static IP so that you can be sure the latter hasn’t already been to another device on the network. If not, make sure another device isn't already using it.

To find the Raspberry Pi’s current IP address, enter the following command in a Terminal window:

• Your router’s gateway IP address: this is the one used to contact it from the local network, not its public IP. It varies depending on the router model, but typically starts with 192.168.

To find it, enter the following command and note the first IP address given:

Raspberry Pi router gateway IP

• Your router’s DNS (Domain Name System) IP address: This is typically the same as its gateway address, but may be set to another value to use an alternative DNS – such as 8.8.8.8 for Google, or 1.1.1.1 for Cloudflare.

To find the current DNS IP address, enter the command:

Raspberry Pi DNS IP

Note the IP address after nameserver – that's the DNS address – and then press Ctrl + X to close the file.

2. Add Static IP Settings

Now you have found all your network connection information, it’s time to edit the dhcpcd.conf configuration file to add the settings you need to set up a static IP address for your Raspberry Pi:

If you haven’t edited the file previously, it will mainly contain various comment lines preceded by a hash (#) symbol. At the bottom, add the following lines, replacing the emboldened names with your own network details:

Replace the emboldened names as follows:

  • NETWORK – your network connection type: eth0 (Ethernet) or wlan0 (wireless).
  • STATIC_IP – the static IP address you want to set for the Raspberry Pi.
  • ROUTER_IP – the gateway IP address for your router on the local network.
  • DNS_IP – the DNS IP address (typically the same as your router’s gateway address).

Here is an example configuration to set the static IP to 192.168.1.120 with a wireless connection to a router at 192.168.1.254:

Raspberry Pi dhcpcd static IP configuration

Once you have entered the settings, press Ctrl + X and then Y and ENTER to close and save the modified configuration file.

3. Reboot the Raspberry Pi

With the dhcpcd.conf configuration file modified, restart your Raspberry Pi to effect the changes and set the static IP address for it:

Rather than using an address assigned automatically by DHCP, the Raspberry Pi will now attempt to connect to the router using the new static IP address that you set in the dhcpcd.conf file.

To check that it is working correctly, enter the following command:

You should now see the static IP address that you set in the dhcpcd.conf configuration file.

Raspberry Pi static IP set

Set a Static IP Address: Success

Congratulations: you have set up a static IP address on your Raspberry Pi, and it should now retain that address automatically whenever it boots up. Now you can go ahead and use your Pi system as a NAS, media or game server, and connect to it reliably at the same Raspberry Pi static IP address every time.

5 – Test the static IP address

When the changes have been made, restart the Raspberry Pi. Now is a good time to test your project and make sure the IP address isn’t changing. Disconnect and reconnect your Pi from the network. If the IP address changes, verify the information in the previous step saved properly. If it stays the same, congratulations! You’ve set a static IP on the Raspberry Pi.

How to Set Up a Static IP on the Raspberry Pi

Posted by Scott Campbell | Raspberry Pi | 31

How to Set Up a Static IP on the Raspberry Pi

Have you ever tried logging in to your Raspberry Pi  via SSH and were denied because the IP address couldn’t be found? Do you have to scan your network every time you connect to find your local IP address? If the IP address of your Raspberry Pi changes all the time, it’s because you’re using a  dynamic IP address . If you want your Pi to have an IP address that doesn’t change automatically, assign it a static IP address . With a static IP, you can be sure that the same IP will work each and every time.

PCBWay Ad

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to configure a static IP address using a clean installation of Raspbian Jessie and Raspbian Jessie Lite. There are pros and cons to each type of IP though, so let’s first talk about why you would want a static IP over a dynamic IP.

Static IP vs. Dynamic IP

Dynamic IP’s are good to use if you’re concerned about security. If a hacker gets access to your IP address, you’ll be less vulnerable to attack since your IP changes frequently. A dynamic IP can change every time you log in, or only at certain intervals. A program installed on your network router called the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), automatically changes and assigns new dynamic IP addresses to computers on your network.

A static IP (as you could probably tell by the name) is one that doesn’t change. This makes it more reliable when using services that depend on a stable internet connection, like online gaming, VOIP, or remote desktop applications. With a static IP, you’ll be able to use the same IP address every time you connect to your Pi.

Setting up a Static IP on the Raspberry Pi

Before starting, make sure you’ve already set up and configured a way to access the command prompt. Check out our tutorials  How to Set Up WiFi on the Raspberry Pi  and How to Set Up a Raspberry Pi Without a Monitor or Keyboard  to see how to do that if you haven’t already.

In this tutorial we’ll set up static IP’s for both WiFi and ethernet connections. If you only need one or the other, just omit the code below for the connection you don’t need.

Find Out Your Network Information

The first step is to find out your  default gateway IP . This is the local IP address of your network router. The computers on your network use it to communicate with the router and access the internet. If you already know what it is, just skip this step. If not, do continue…

Power up and log into your Raspberry Pi via WiFi or ethernet, then enter route -ne at the command prompt to see your network routing information:

How to Set Up a Static IP for your Raspberry Pi - route -ne

Under the “Gateway” column, you can see your default gateway IP (10.0.0.1 in my case). The “Iface” column lists the names for each connection – ethernet (eth0) and WiFi (wlan0). Write down your default gateway IP, we’ll need it in a minute.

Now we need to find out the IP addresses of your  domain name servers. Your Pi sends the domain names you enter into your browser (i.e. www.google.com) to domain name servers, which convert the domain names to IP addresses (i.e. 8.8.8.8). Your Pi then uses the IP address to access the website’s server.

Enter cat /etc/resolv.conf at the command prompt to find the list of domain name servers:

How to Set Up a Static IP for your Raspberry Pi resolv conf conf file contents

Copy these IP addresses to a text editor on your PC or write them down for later.

Configure the Network Settings

Now we’re ready to configure the network settings. By default the Pi is configured with a dynamic IP address. To assign it a static IP address, you need to add your static IP, default gateway IP, and domain name servers to the dhcpcd.conf file.

At the command prompt, enter sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf to edit the dhcpcd.conf file:

How to Set Up a Static IP for your Raspberry Pi - Sudo Nano dhcpcd conf

Now, without changing anything else in the file, add this code at the bottom of the dhcpcd.conf file, replacing the IP addresses with your own IP addresses found above:

  • static ip_address :  This is the static IP address you’ll use to SSH or remotely connect to your Pi. Take your default gateway IP (found in the steps above), and change the last number to any other number between 0 and 255.
  • static routers :  This is your default gateway IP address.
  • static domain_name_servers :  These are the IP’s we found in the resolv.conf file above. Separate each IP with a single space.

For example, my default gateway IP address is 10.0.0.1. To get the  static ip_address  for my ethernet connection (eth0), I replaced the 1 with 100 to get 10.0.0.100. To get the static ip_address for my WiFi connection (wlan0), I replaced the 1 with 99 to get 10.0.0.99. I’ll use these IPs to log in to my Pi from now on.

The file should look like this (with your own IP addresses):

Static IP Address for Raspberry Pi - dhcpcd File Contents

Once you’ve replaced the IP addresses in the example code with your own IP addresses, press Ctrl-X and Y to exit and save the dhcpcd.conf file. Now enter sudo reboot to reboot the Pi. Log in with your new static ethernet IP or static WiFi IP:

Static IP Address for the Raspberry Pi in PuTTY

To check that everything is working correctly and the Pi has access to the internet, let’s ping Google. Enter sudo ping www.google.com  at the command prompt:

How to Set Up a Static IP for your Raspberry Pi - Direct Ethernet Connection Ping Google

Press Ctrl-C to stop the pinging. If the connection is successful, you’ll see the packets that have been sent and received. If your connection isn’t successful, you will get a “Network is unreachable” error:

How to Set Up a Static IP for your Raspberry Pi - Direct Ethernet Connection Ping Google Network Unreachable

You should probably test the connection by pinging Google with both ethernet and WiFi static IP’s.

You can watch me set this up step by step in this video:

Now that you have a static IP set up, your Pi’s connection to the internet will be a lot more reliable. But another really useful way to connect to your Pi is with a direct ethernet connection to your laptop or desktop. A direct connection is extremely fast and stable. If you connect to your Pi via SSH a lot, I would definitely recommend setting this up. Check out our article,  How to Connect to a Raspberry Pi Directly with an Ethernet Cable to learn how.

Great article. Just a few weeks too late for me as I finally figured it out…

It can be as simple. Lots of articles about fixed ip on the web, read at least 10 of them. All of them wrong or at least outdated (no jessie). Yours worked in no time. Mni thanks for that!

Thanks a Lot on How to setup static ip address, I looked few web site and most had wrong information.

Thank you, many “so called current” info on this on the web but all seem outdated, this is 100% correct. Thank you again.

works fine in setting static address but when trying to ping Google I get “unknown host http://www.google.com ” If I comment out the added lines the ping works fine I use TightVNC to connect to the PI – router address is 192.168.1.1

@JarJarGeek Very nice guide, I would use this for server, but for general Pi;s I find avahi-deamon more flexible.

When i type in the cat for either files or even sudo nano it either says that te file or directory doesn’t exist or the document comes up blank (implying that it doesn’t exist).

i am using a raspberry pi 3 and am using the latest raspbian os as of may 15th 2016.

please help that way i don’t end up having to set my pi up every time i want to use it.

nevermind. got it working.

had to share this on my @RebelMouse. Thank you! https://t.co/6mLwym7uQO

When I tried this it fails to connect. I think the problem is in the static router address. As per your instructions I came up with 0.0.0.0…

pi@VIDraspberrypi:~ $ route -ne Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0

Oops… rebooted a second time and now ALL works! THANK YOU FOR WRITING (AND VIDEO RECORDING) SIMPLE, CONCISE AND UP TO DATE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

will this allow graphics from a python program running on pi like pygame? or is the screen functionality merely a window into the terminal?

How will you ensure that the DHCP won’t assign this address to another device?. If my understanding is correct the DHCP does not know about this static IP and can therefore assign it to something else. If this happens there will be an IP conflict. is there anyway out of this ?

Most dhcp servers will try to ping address before assigning it to a client. But if your static IP device is switched off, the address still may be used by dhcp, and conflict will happen when you switch it on.To avoid this, you have to exclude address from your dhcp server’s address distribution range. Or you can make a reservation for that address in dhcp. In some cases reservation is even an alternative to static IP.

How can I set network mask to? Because this way it gives me mask of 255.0.0.0 which is not correct in my case, Also I need to set additional classless route for 10.10.0.0/16 via another gateway.

In fact I don’t need static address. If I do, I’d rater prefer to setup a dhcp reservation. I came to your article finding solution to a problem I have: My raspbian jessie / pi3B does not get default gateway from DHCP. It receives normaly everything else – IP address, default domain, dns and ntp servers, additional classless routes but not default gateway! What can be wrong? The DHCP server is Windows 2012 R2, if that does mater.

With Raspian Jessie (2016/09/23) a need to add “routers” and “domain_name_servers” BOTH under eth0 and wlan0:

interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.x.x/24 static routers=192.168.x.x static domain_name_servers=x.x.x.x

interface wlan0 static ip_address=192.168.x.x/24 static routers=192.168.x.x static domain_name_servers=x.x.x.x

Thanks for the update! I’ll add this to the post.

i share with you a video on youtube how to configure your ip from dhcp to static. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uixbMXZeNs&t=4s

When i run “sudo ifdown wlan0, sudo ifup wlan0” i get “ifdown: interface wlan0, not configured”. what is the fix for this ?

Amazing! Its truly amazing article, I have got much clear idea concerning from this piece of writing.

Hi, we have the products of raspberry pi and arduino components, and very interest in working with you.

How do i make it so the ip is the same on any network?? Working on a project and need a way to ping the pi on any network it goes to.

Great article, thank you so much for explaining each of the lines in the dhcpcd.conf file. so many articles tell you to “just add this” without explaining what it means and why. Led to me following several and losing SSH access to the pi until I reverted it.

Doesn’t get much easier that that. Thanks.

Thanks, confirming this worked for me using Raspbian Buster in January 2019

Thank you so much, this helped me a lot. May 2020

I have set static IP in Pi and check by ping and it is working fine but when I enter static IP in putty for ssh getting network error connection time out. I have checked SSH is enabled in pi as well. Can anyone please help me why getting this error?

Worked like a charm. Thank you!

Hello Your tutorial is really helpful. But I have a problem. It seems that I have mistype my static IP address so I can’t connect with my RPi. The static ip_address should be “192.168.1.xxx” but I typed it “192.168.201.xxx” Is there any way I could fix it? Thank you

I am having a strange issue where my resolve.conf file keeps resetting upon reboot or shutdown and I have to do the setup again!!!  The requirement for the static IP is because I am running my own VPN server with OpenVPN and the client I am using on the other end for connecting is Orbot for PC. I don't want to start from scratch hence the reset is not a choice. I did try changing the user and also chmod to 775 giving full permissions or locking it down, without much luck. Any guidance is appreciated.

Equip Raspberry Pi with a static IP address

How to set a Raspberry Pi with a static ip address?

A static IP address , as opposed to a dynamic IP address, doesn’t change. The single-board computer Raspberry Pi always needs a static IP address if you want to access it with other devices over a long period of time. This refers to the private IP address of the Raspberry IP that is located by a computer within the local network as well as the public IP address of the network via which the Raspberry Pi is accessible on the internet (for example, if it’s being used as a server). But how do you provide Raspberry Pi with an IP address that always remains the same? This guide explains which options you have for linking a static IP address to your Raspberry Pi.

Addressing Raspberry Pi in the LAN via a private IP address

Addressing the raspberry pi on the internet via a public ip address or ddns, assign a static private ip address to raspberry pi with a router, assign a static private ip address to raspberry pi with dhcpcd, static ip addresses for raspberry pi are sometimes vital.

Addressing Raspberry Pi via a static IP address

For many projects with the small computer, it’s either useful or necessary to provide Raspberry Pi with a static IP address. But before we talk more specifically about the use of such a static IP address with Raspberry Pi, we’ll first outline the differences between addressing a computer in a private (local) network or on the publicly accessible internet . Private and public IP addresses are not to be confused with each other.

Within a local network (also called a Local Area Network, or LAN for short), a router distributes data to various devices. The router is also responsible for IP address assignment – more specifically, the DHCP server integrated in the router is responsible. For example, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns free IP addresses to the corresponding devices. Computers, smart TVs, smartphones, or a Raspberry Pi each receive such an address via which they can communicate with other devices. Therefore, all devices are uniquely identifiable via their so-called MAC address .

Since IP addresses in a private network are individually assigned by the DHCP and the coupling of devices to an IP address is only valid within your local network, here we’re talking about private IP addresses . In the default settings, Raspberry Pi also receives its IP address via the DHCP server. The private IP addresses of individual devices can change though, depending on the configuration of the DHCP server.

To be able to reach Raspberry Pi on the same address in your own LAN, you have to provide it with a static, private IP address . One such static IP address for Raspberry Pi can be used, for example, for the remote maintenance of a computer within the network protocol SSH (Secure Shell): If you have an SSH program installed, you can control the Raspberry Pi via another computer using the SSH client. This has the advantage that you don’t have to connect a monitor and input device separately for operation anymore. But if the minicomputer only has a dynamic private IP address, then you have to reselect the current IP address for every SSH access and link it to the SSH client – you bypass this step with a static private IP address.

A static private IP address is essential for your Raspberry Pi if you want to set it up as a server in the LAN . If the Raspberry Pi server is also to continue being available outside of the local network, then you have to assign it another static address via which the server can be accessed on the internet. For example, an internet connection with a static public IP address or a DDNS service.

If the Raspberry Pi is to be used as a server accessible over the internet, then the public IP address of your internet connection comes into play. Most internet access is available via dynamic IP addresses that are changed every time they start and at the latest every 24 hours. This changes the public IP address with which the Raspberry Pi server can be reached.

If you want to set up your Raspberry Pi as an ownCloud server or in another server form, the following problem occurs: As soon as the server receives a new IP address, it can only be traced in the LAN. If you want to be found outside of the local network, you no longer know which address the server can be reached on. The solution to this is a fixed IP address. The simplest variation here would be to use an internet connection with a static public IP address . But this is usually quite expensive, and isn’t offered by all internet service providers.

Another solution is the application of dynamic DNS (DDNS) . This links your dynamic public IP address with a domain name. Every time, as soon as your IP address changes, a program redirects the new address to the domain name and makes it permanently available on the internet. Now if you link a server on Raspberry Pi with the domain name, it’s permanently accessible online.

There are both free and paid DDNS services. Before you decide on one for yourself, you should first test which DDNS providers your router supports, and whether it supports any at all . Find the DDNS support tutorial for whichever individual router your DDNS server is intended to operate on, such as this tutorial for Linksys routers .

Many routers support the ability to provide individual devices within the local network with a static IP address. With a Linksys router, the Linksys app  allows you to manage multiple devices and handle all of the router assignments remotely. Various other routers also support similar functions, and so can be used for linking Raspberry Pi with a static IP address.

A static IP address for Raspberry Pi is set up somewhat differently for each router. The basic principle is always the same, though: You open the user interface of the router in your browser; Link the MAC address of Raspberry Pi with your LAN’s IPv4 address via the manual IP configuration. Most of the time, a checkbox exists for this in the router interface. This enables you to always automatically use the IP address assigned to you.

Raspbian Jessie, or Jessie Lite – the current Raspbian operating systems at the moment – have a DHCP client daemon (DHCPCD) that can communicate with the DHCP servers from routers. The configuration file of a DHCP client daemon allows you to change the private IP address of a computer and set it up in the long term. The following instructions will assign a static IPv4 address with 32 bits (not to be confused with an IPv6 address , which has 128 bits available) to the Raspberry Pi.

Before you begin with the assignment of a private IP address for Raspberry Pi, check whether DHCPCD is already activated using the following command:

In case it’s not, activate DHCPCD as follows:

Now make sure that the configuration of the file /etc/network/interfaces has the original status . For this, the ‘iface’ configuration needs to be set at ‘manual’ for the interfaces.

For the editing of the activated DHCPCDs, start by opening the configuration file /etc/dhcpcd.conf and running the following command:

You’ll now carry out the configuration of the static IP address. If your Raspberry Pi is connected to the internet via an Ethernet or network cable, then enter the command ‘interface eth0’; if it takes place over Wi-Fi, then use the ‘interface wlan’ command.

To assign an IP address to Raspberry Pi, use the command ‘ static ip_address= ’ followed by the desired IPv4 address and the suffix ‘ /24 ’ (an abbreviation of the subnet mak 255.255.255.0 ). For example, if you want to link a computer with the IPv4 address 192.168.0.4 , then you need to use the command ‘static ip_address=192.168.0.4/24’. It goes without saying that the address used here is not yet used anywhere else. As such, it also can’t be located in the address pool of a DHCP server.

You still then need to specify the address of your gateway and domain name server (usually both are the router). Raspberry Pi turns to the gateway address if an IP address to which it wants to send something is outside of the subnet mask (in the example, this would mean outside of the range 192.168.0). In the following command, the IPv4 address 192.168.0.1 is used as an example as both the gateway and DNS server. The complete command looks like this in our example (where a network cable is used for the internet connection):

The command lines above match the IPv4 addresses that you want to use for your Raspberry Pi, or where your router is assigned. Save the changes with ‘Ctrl + O’ and then press the enter key. Close the configuration file with ‘Ctrl + X’. Restart to adopt the newly assigned static IP address in the network:

Now use a ping command to check whether the Raspberry Pi is accessible in the network with its new IP address:

If the connection of the IP address was successful, you’ll see that you can reach it under the new IP address with a ping.

In summary, it should be noted that there are basically two different IP addresses that are relevant for Raspberry Pi (and projects using it): the private IP address of the Raspberry Pi within the local network, and the public IP address of its internet connection.

A static private IP address is primarily necessary if you want to use Raspberry Pi as a server . But if you access the minicomputer via SSH more frequently, you should assign in a static address in the same way. The possibilities outlined above detail how this can be achieved with relatively simple means.

Assigning a fixed public address that allows your Raspberry Pi to be accessed via the internet is somewhat more complicated. This is necessary, for example, when attempting to make your server installed on Raspberry Pi remain constantly available online. Most internet access is available only via a dynamic public IP address, which isn’t possible here. Since a static address isn’t offered by all internet providers (and if it is, then it’s usually relatively expensive), a DDNS service presents the best solutions. But for this, you have to know which forms of dynamic DNS are supported by your router.

How to give your Raspberry Pi a Static IP Address

How to give your Raspberry Pi a Static IP Address - UPDATE

This tutorial will show you how to set a static IP address on your Raspberry Pi with the release of Raspbian Jessie. At the time of writing, the latest release date of Raspbian Jessie is 18-03-2016 with Kernal version 4.1 (but this should work on most versions).

We recommend doing this on a fresh install, however if you have attempted to set a static IP address already, you may have found yourself editing the interfaces file (/etc/network/interfaces). I hope you made a backup, because you’ll need to remove any edits you have made, and revert it back to its original state!

The following is done over SSH, but you could just as well plug your Pi into a monitor, hook up a keyboard and mouse, and use the Terminal instead.

Start by editing the dhcpcd.conf file

sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

raspbian set static ip address eth0

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the file and add one, or both of the following snippets. Depending on whether you want to set a static IP address for a wired connection or a wireless connection eth0 = wired, wlan0 = wireless.

You’ll need to edit the numbers in the snippet so they match your network configuration.

interface = This defines which network interface you are setting the configuration for. static ip_address = This is the IP address that you want to set your device to. (Make sure you leave the /24 at the end) static routers = This is the IP address of your gateway (probably the IP address or your router) static domain_name_servers = This is the IP address of your DNS (probably the IP address of your router). You can add multiple IP addresses here separated with a single space.

To exit the editor, press ctrl+x To save your changes press the letter “Y” then hit enter

Now all you need to do is reboot, and everything should be set!

You can double check by typing

And checking the interfaces IP address

in a special use case i need two different addresses over the ethernet/lan port. for example 192.168.100.23 and at the same time 10.168.100.23. is this easy to realize? somewhere i read about a command eth0 add, but i don’t know how to use it.

raspbian set static ip address eth0

Setting a Static IP address with Raspbian Jessie Lite on the Raspberry Pi

In the midst of my work upgrading the Raspberry Pi Dramble to Raspbian Jessie Lite, I noticed one of the basic components of the architecture—static IP addresses for all the Raspberry Pis—was not working correctly anymore. My Ansible playbooks configured the /etc/network/interfaces file correctly, so it would define a static IP address for the eth0 interface (the built-in Ethernet port on the Pi):

In the past, with Raspbian Wheezy, everything worked fine, and the Pi would (after a reboot) use the static IP address 10.0.1.60 .

In Raspbian Jessie Lite, there is a little additional configuration you need to provide for dhcpcd , since Raspbian uses dhcpcd5 by default. If you want, you could disable/uninstall dhcpcd5 entirely, but it's simpler to provide the correct static IP configuration in dhcpcd's configuration file. In my case, I edited /etc/dhcpcd.conf , and put the following inside, after the rest of the configuration:

After rebooting the Raspberry Pi, the static IP address configuration worked just like it did with Wheezy. Another note; you can also delete the persistent dhcp lease info by removing the following files:

  • /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases
  • /var/lib/dhcpcd5/dhcpcd-eth0.lease

For the Dramble, I made all the above changes to the Ansible playbook that configures Pi networking in this commit .

Thanks, I was looking on changing the ip address of my raspberry. You gave the answer. And offcourse, many thanks for the developper, who now have made it very logical, setup the fixed ip in the dhcp config file. Yeah.

Hi Jeff, Would this also work on the rasbian pi 2 b with jessie version 8.

Yes; should work on any system with Jessie.

To my mind, this is a fairly major bug - an interface that is defined as static in /etc/network/interfaces shouldn't be interfered with by dhcpcd (I see one suggestion that changing from "allow-hotplug eth0" to "auto eth0" fixes it - but it seems, oddly, that you have neither in your config file above?)

If you don't actually need dhcpcd then removing it is surely easier long term (given it's just one command) than maintaining a second configuration file and adheres to the general best practice of not running unnecessary services (aside from the security angle, this is also important on systems of limited resource such as the Pi!). I see some anecdata from the pi forum that suggests that removing the dhcpcd5 package deletes /etc/network/interfaces, though, which seems completely and totally insane (even if the package was purged I would not expected /etc/network/interfaces to be in the dhcpcd5 package).

Perhaps the least-impact fix (if you don't mind running dhcpcd unnecessarily, or need it for a wlan interface or similar) is to tell it to ignore eth0 (or whatever interface you want to stop it from interfering with): "denyinterfaces eth0" in /etc/dhcpd.conf should work, by the looks of things. That way, if you come to change the interface address on eth0 you won't have to also modify dhcpcd.conf each time.

Shouldn't there be a line in /etc/network/interfaces to bring the interface up auto eth0

Otherwise it needs you to manually bring it up with sudo ifup eth0

There shouldn't be any need to use dhcp at all with a statically assigned address.

Will it work if I dont add a DNS IP? and why do we need to assign the same IP leased from our DHCP?

Thank you for this! Bookmarking...

Hello Jeff. I discovered the same things you did apart from the lease files, but there is still one thing I am missing and still looking for it. Where do you set up the domain search option? Meaning the domain suffix that sould be appended to a hostname you are looking up, if none is provided with the hostname. There should be an option there but I don't see it in the man. Maybe I am not looking in the right place. Do you have any idea?

Just add "search_domains=your.domain" to /etc/resolvconf.conf"

thanks, after messing around with this (pi zero / jessie lite) for a while this actually worked! nice job, thanks again.

I am using jessie on the rpi b+. I am sorry to say this does not work. It works on the rpi 3, but sadly not on the B+. In fact there seems to be no way of setting a static ip on the B+.

Success at last. Took this from comment section on another blog.

There is a simple alternative of adding

alias { interface "wlan0"; fixed-address 192.168.1.123; }

to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

That will still use all dhcp-information but add the specified ip-address as an alias to the interface. Thus it will survive changes on the router, buying of a new one etc.

It worked for me. Thats all I can say.

All the best...

Why in the world would you assign a /24 subnet as an ip adress to a single host? I don't think you really know what you are doing here.

Meh, I don't know why the /etc/network/interfaces example has a /24, you're just as well leaving it off (I'm guessing it was a copypasta error from the dhcpcd.conf ). If you leave it on, it doesn't effectively make a difference on that host, it's still interpreted as IP address 10.0.1.60 .

I'll update the example though, since as you indicate there's no reason to put CIDR notation in there, much less a wide-ranging one.

I am leaving it in the dhcpcd.conf example, though, since the official documentation in ArchWiki has/recommends it. See also Debian manpages for dhcpcd.conf .

Equip Raspberry Pi with a static IP address

How to set a Raspberry Pi with a static ip adress?

A static IP address , as opposed to a dynamic IP address, doesn’t change. The single-board computer Raspberry Pi always needs a static IP address if you want to access it with other devices over a long period of time. This refers to the private IP address of the Raspberry IP that is located by a computer within the local network as well as the public IP address of the network via which the Raspberry Pi is accessible on the internet (for example, if it’s being used as a server). But how do you provide Raspberry Pi with an IP address that always remains the same? This guide explains which options you have for linking a static IP address to your Raspberry Pi.

Addressing Raspberry Pi in the LAN via a private IP address

Addressing the raspberry pi on the internet via a public ip address or ddns, assign a static private ip address to raspberry pi with a router, assign a static private ip address to raspberry pi with dhcpcd, static ip addresses for raspberry pi are sometimes vital.

Addressing Raspberry Pi via a static IP address

For many projects with the small computer, it’s either useful or necessary to provide Raspberry Pi with a static IP address. But before we talk more specifically about the use of such a static IP address with Raspberry Pi, we’ll first outline the differences between addressing a computer in a private (local) network or on the publicly accessible internet . Private and public IP addresses are not to be confused with each other.

Within a local network (also called a Local Area Network, or LAN for short), a router distributes data to various devices. The router is also responsible for IP address assignment – more specifically, the DHCP server integrated in the router is responsible. For example, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns free IP addresses to the corresponding devices. Computers, smart TVs, smartphones, or a Raspberry Pi each receive such an address via which they can communicate with other devices. Therefore, all devices are uniquely identifiable via their so-called MAC address .

Since IP addresses in a private network are individually assigned by the DHCP and the coupling of devices to an IP address is only valid within your local network, here we’re talking about private IP addresses . In the default settings, Raspberry Pi also receives its IP address via the DHCP server. The private IP addresses of individual devices can change though, depending on the configuration of the DHCP server.

To be able to reach Raspberry Pi on the same address in your own LAN, you have to provide it with a static, private IP address . One such static IP address for Raspberry Pi can be used, for example, for the remote maintenance of a computer within the network protocol SSH (Secure Shell): If you have an SSH program installed, you can control the Raspberry Pi via another computer using the SSH client. This has the advantage that you don’t have to connect a monitor and input device separately for operation anymore. But if the minicomputer only has a dynamic private IP address, then you have to reselect the current IP address for every SSH access and link it to the SSH client – you bypass this step with a static private IP address.

A static private IP address is essential for your Raspberry Pi if you want to set it up as a server in the LAN . If the Raspberry Pi server is also to continue being available outside of the local network, then you have to assign it another static address via which the server can be accessed on the internet. For example, an internet connection with a static public IP address or a DDNS service.

If the Raspberry Pi is to be used as a server accessible over the internet, then the public IP address of your internet connection comes into play. Most internet access is available via dynamic IP addresses that are changed every time they start and at the latest every 24 hours. This changes the public IP address with which the Raspberry Pi server can be reached.

If you want to set up your Raspberry Pi as an ownCloud server or in another server form, the following problem occurs: As soon as the server receives a new IP address, it can only be traced in the LAN. If you want to be found outside of the local network, you no longer know which address the server can be reached on. The solution to this is a fixed IP address. The simplest variation here would be to use an internet connection with a static public IP address . But this is usually quite expensive, and isn’t offered by all internet service providers.

Another solution is the application of dynamic DNS (DDNS) . This links your dynamic public IP address with a domain name. Every time, as soon as your IP address changes, a program redirects the new address to the domain name and makes it permanently available on the internet. Now if you link a server on Raspberry Pi with the domain name, it’s permanently accessible online.

There are both free and paid DDNS services. Before you decide on one for yourself, you should first test which DDNS providers your router supports, and whether it supports any at all . Find the DDNS support tutorial for whichever individual router your DDNS server is intended to operate on, such as this tutorial for Linksys routers .

Many routers support the ability to provide individual devices within the local network with a static IP address. With a Linksys router, the Linksys app  allows you to manage multiple devices and handle all of the router assignments remotely. Various other routers also support similar functions, and so can be used for linking Raspberry Pi with a static IP address.

A static IP address for Raspberry Pi is set up somewhat differently for each router. The basic principle is always the same, though: You open the user interface of the router in your browser; Link the MAC address of Raspberry Pi with your LAN’s IPv4 address via the manual IP configuration. Most of the time, a checkbox exists for this in the router interface. This enables you to always automatically use the IP address assigned to you.

Raspbian Jessie, or Jessie Lite – the current Raspbian operating systems at the moment – have a DHCP client daemon (DHCPCD) that can communicate with the DHCP servers from routers. The configuration file of a DHCP client daemon allows you to change the private IP address of a computer and set it up in the long term. The following instructions will assign a static IPv4 address with 32 bits (not to be confused with an IPv6 address , which has 128 bits available) to the Raspberry Pi.

Before you begin with the assignment of a private IP address for Raspberry Pi, check whether DHCPCD is already activated using the following command:

In case it’s not, activate DHCPCD as follows:

Now make sure that the configuration of the file /etc/network/interfaces has the original status . For this, the ‘iface’ configuration needs to be set at ‘manual’ for the interfaces.

For the editing of the activated DHCPCDs, start by opening the configuration file /etc/dhcpcd.conf and running the following command:

You’ll now carry out the configuration of the static IP address. If your Raspberry Pi is connected to the internet via an Ethernet or network cable, then enter the command ‘interface eth0’; if it takes place over Wi-Fi, then use the ‘interface wlan’ command.

To assign an IP address to Raspberry Pi, use the command ‘ static ip_address= ’ followed by the desired IPv4 address and the suffix ‘ /24 ’ (an abbreviation of the subnet mak 255.255.255.0 ). For example, if you want to link a computer with the IPv4 address 192.168.0.4 , then you need to use the command ‘static ip_address=192.168.0.4/24’. It goes without saying that the address used here is not yet used anywhere else. As such, it also can’t be located in the address pool of a DHCP server.

You still then need to specify the address of your gateway and domain name server (usually both are the router). Raspberry Pi turns to the gateway address if an IP address to which it wants to send something is outside of the subnet mask (in the example, this would mean outside of the range 192.168.0). In the following command, the IPv4 address 192.168.0.1 is used as an example as both the gateway and DNS server. The complete command looks like this in our example (where a network cable is used for the internet connection):

The command lines above match the IPv4 addresses that you want to use for your Raspberry Pi, or where your router is assigned. Save the changes with ‘Ctrl + O’ and then press the enter key. Close the configuration file with ‘Ctrl + X’. Restart to adopt the newly assigned static IP address in the network:

Now use a ping command to check whether the Raspberry Pi is accessible in the network with its new IP address:

If the connection of the IP address was successful, you’ll see that you can reach it under the new IP address with a ping.

In summary, it should be noted that there are basically two different IP addresses that are relevant for Raspberry Pi (and projects using it): the private IP address of the Raspberry Pi within the local network, and the public IP address of its internet connection.

A static private IP address is primarily necessary if you want to use Raspberry Pi as a server . But if you access the minicomputer via SSH more frequently, you should assign in a static address in the same way. The possibilities outlined above detail how this can be achieved with relatively simple means.

Assigning a fixed public address that allows your Raspberry Pi to be accessed via the internet is somewhat more complicated. This is necessary, for example, when attempting to make your server installed on Raspberry Pi remain constantly available online. Most internet access is available only via a dynamic public IP address, which isn’t possible here. Since a static address isn’t offered by all internet providers (and if it is, then it’s usually relatively expensive), a DDNS service presents the best solutions. But for this, you have to know which forms of dynamic DNS are supported by your router.
