Set up Static IP Address

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

• Modify Boot Parameters
• Modify Configuration File

Modify Boot Parameters

To modify the boot parameters during the boot process:

1. At the GRUB menu, select Recover or Automatic Recover item
2. Click ‘e’ to edit boot options
3. Append the desired network setting in the following format:

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

   Ensure you replace the placeholder values in angle brackets (< >) with the relevant information

   For example:

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

   

4. Enter Ctrl-x or F10 to boot.

Modify Configuration File

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>

   Ensure you replace the placeholder values in angle brackets (< >) with the relevant information

   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
