For this we open a terminal and go to / etc / network /, for we modify the interfaces file we first take a backup of the original file with the command:
Login als root: >> cp interfaces interfaces2
The command we'll now see that under the / etc / network file is added interface2, This is the backup file that can always be put back by the command mv.
Etc.: >> mv interfaces2 interfaces
The command ll exists by default in Debian Wheezy, it is an alias for the command ls -l. If you want to use this command out of laziness you can deposit a line through an alias in the file bash.bashrc. The bash.bashrc file under the / etc directory.
>> nano /etc/bash.bashrc
You navigate using the arrows are key to the foot of the page and adds the line alias ll = 'ls -l' to it.
Now to have this done, we can assign a static IP address, we open interfaces with the following command:
>> Nano /etc/network/interfaces
The following config file emerges:
Here we are going to change the line iface eth0 inet dhcp to static and the standards of your network.
For me, this will look like:
What have we done:
We changed DHCP to static and we 3 added lines. If the first address that we want to give to our node 10.10.10.7. as 2and our subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and finally the IP address of our default gateway ( het IP adress van de router ).
