Here we go again. A completely different way to configure the network using netplan. I used the following on an Ubuntu 18.x LTS server to configure the static IP address:<\/p>\n

$ cd \/etc\/netplan<\/p>\n

If this directory, there will be a yaml file. I have seen this have a couple different names, but it has always been the only file in the directory. In this case, the file was named: 00-installer-config.yaml<\/p>\n

If you brought the machine using DHCP, you need to change the “dhcp4: yes” line to “dhcpv: no”. Below, is an example setting the IP address, mask via the CIDR designation (subnet bits) after the IP address, the gateway, the nameservers and a search domain. <\/p>\n

Note: the format (indentation) of the lines in the file are important.<\/p>\n

$ sudo vi 00-installer-config.yaml
\n…<\/p>\n

network:
\n ethernets:
\n ens160:
\n dhcp4: no
\n addresses: [aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd\/mm]
\n gateway4: eee.fff.ggg.hhh
\n nameservers:
\n addresses: [www.xxx.yyy.zzz, mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp]
\n search: [my.domain, my.otherdomain]
\n version: 2<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For Ubuntu 20.x:<\/p>\n

network:
\n ethernets:
\n ens32:
\n addresses:
\n – aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd\/mm
\n gateway4: eee.fff.ggg.hhh
\n nameservers:
\n addresses:
\n – www.xxx.yyy.zzz
\n – mmm.nnn.ooo.ppp
\n search:
\n – my.domain
\n version: 2<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note: Make sure you do the following from the console, if modifying the IP address.
\nApply the configuration:
