creating a static IP for ubuntu 17.04 server behind router












0















I have the following ifconfig:-



enp0s31f6: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
inet 10.21.0.11 netmask 255.255.240.0 broadcast 10.21.15.255
inet6 rr50::9r16:r57r:rrr6:rr86 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether 88:88:rr:8r:b8:88 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 1283617 bytes 447482292 (447.4 MB)

TX packets 777459 bytes 128121082 (128.1 MB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
device interrupt 16 memory 0xf7100000-f7120000

lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host>

RX packets 62037 bytes 26306447 (26.3 MB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 62037 bytes 26306447 (26.3 MB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0


Also my /etc/network/interfaces looks like this:-



# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


To assign a static IP i tried to add something like this from here:-



auto enp0s31f6
iface enp0s31f6 inet static
address 10.253.0.50
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.253.0.0
gateway 10.253.0.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8


I save it with sudo and then on terminal type and enter: sudo ifdown enp0s31f6 && sudo ifup enp0s31f6. This does not work. The goal was to enable nomachine access to this server machine from an outside client network. Doing this step led to loss of connection with the server immediately. The above ifconfig results is greek to me and i copied pasted from above SO answer. How to make this work? What are the correct values i should have given for the fields address, netmask, network, gateway.

  • Your values are ok but still don't match your ifconfig.. did you try sudo service networking reload ? Of you are connected over ssh or something it's clear that you lose the connection if the IP changes or the network is not coming up correctly..

  • And of course you add YOUR values for the IP and so on assuming your gateway is 10.21.0.1 than address 10.21.0.11 netmask 255.255.240.0 gateway 10.21.0.1 dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 (don't have to set network if you have set the others)

  • @derHugo If the broadcast address via DHCP is 10.21.15.255, then I suspect that the gateway may be 10.21.15.1, but user_1_1_1 needs to verify: route -n. Furthermore, I suggest a static address outside the DHCP pool which 10.21.0.11 is not.

  • No @chili555 I don't think so since his/her ip is 10.21.0.11 and netmask is 255.255.240.0 => IPs available are 10.21.0.1 - 10.21.15.254 ;) Anyway it's just an example

  • Furthermore we don't know the DHCP pool actually since it may always be smaller than the network eg. 10.21.2.10-10.21.12.255; than the rest could be used by static IPs.
