Changing IP to static on Fedora,CentOS and Oracle Linux

This post was originally released on 14th of January 2017.

DHCP is great but there usually comes a time when you need to make sure that your IP stays always the same. This post outlines the steps you can take to setup a static IP on Fedora, Centos and Oracle Linux.

Before you begin do these two steps in terminal:

yum -y install net-tools

ip a

After ip a, you will see something like this:

2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether dc:4a:3e:43:dc:1c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 9.1.1.11/24 brd 9.1.1.255 scope global dynamic eno1
valid_lft 68056sec preferred_lft 68056sec
inet6 fe80::593e:cf18:df4e:f815/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Take note of your network adapter name(eno1).

Get your current IP (inet line)
9.1.1.11

Broadcast address(brd)
9.1.1.255

Get your gateway details by typing route -n

PostX Gnu/Linux moves to Fedora

The time has come to leave Debian as a distribution base. My choice is Fedora for the following reasons:

– RPMs are clean and provide a nice structure.
– Latest tools and versions, which is important when coding.
– Systemd that actually works without any weird issues.
– Good package selection and very good driver support.
– Clear standing on free software, which I find to be very good.
– Dependencies are managed better and more robustly in the RPM world. Continue reading →
