[SOLVED] Can't set static IP - XU4, 18.04

[sv209]

Hello! I'm new to the Odroid community and have picked up an XU4 board. Currently, it is running Ubuntu 18.04 (Minimal, Bare OS). All setup has been very smooth up until attempting to set a static IP address.

I have attempted to set this using Netplan. Please see my netplan configuration file below:

Code: Select all

network:
 version: 2
 renderer: NetworkManager
 ethernets:
  eht0:
   dhcp4: no
   dhcp6: no
   addresses: [10.0.0.10/24,]
   gateway4: 10.0.0.1
   nameservers:
    addresses: [8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4]

After saving that configuration I ran `sudo netplan --debug apply`. This was the result:

Code: Select all

I do not know what is wrong. I have attempted a restart however the board still gets an IP address from my DHCP server. Any suggestions?

Hi.

How about removing renderer property? Because with netplan the default renderer is networkd.

[sv209]

Removing the renderer doesn't have any effect. The board still gets an address from DCHP.

Could it be a problem that possibly both NetworkManager and systemd-networkd are running at the same time? Looking into syslog I see entries from both those services.

Somehow I think you need to specify eth0, not eht0 in netplan config...

[joshua.yang]

Then your configuration seems to be working fine.

This is my netplan configuration for applying static IP.

Code: Select all

root@odroid:~# cat /etc/netplan/static.yaml
network:
    ethernets:
        eth0:
            dhcp4: no
            addresses: [192.168.0.111/24]
            gateway4: 192.168.0.2
            nameservers:
              addresses: [8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4]
    version: 2

How about ip a?

Any other network options had been changed before?
Just questioned since it is weird that this isn't working even it should work.

The minor eht0 typo was my issue...

Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone!

I didn't notice that either....
