Set up static IP address

You can configure a static IP address for the rescue system in two ways:

To modify the boot parameters during the boot process

  1. At the GRUB menu, select Recover or Automatic Recover item and press ā€˜e’ to edit boot options.

  2. Append the desired network setting in this format:

    ip=<client-ip>:<srv-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<host>:<device>:<autoconf> nameserver=<nameserver>

    For example:

    ip=10.220.83.123::10.220.83.1:255.255.255.0:::off nameserver=10.220.0.10

  3. Enter Ctrl-x or F10 to boot.

To modify the systemd-networkd configuration file

  1. Open the /lib/systemd/network/99-ethernet.network file using vi or nano, and update it as follows:

    [Match]
    Type=ether
    					
    [Network]
    Address=<IP address>
    Gateway=<Gateway IP address>
    DNS=<DNS IP address>

    For example,

    [Match]
    Type=ether
    
    [Network] Address=10.220.83.123 Gateway=10.220.83.1 DNS=1.1.1
  2. Restart the systemd-networkd service:

    systemctl restart systemd-networkd

Ensure that network settings have been applied correctly using ip a command.
