How to Assign Static IP Address in Raspberry PI

A static IP address is the opposite of a dynamic IP and it’s doesn’t change. To access raspberry pi with other devices over a long period of time and it’s needing a static IP address. Using the below command to check whether DHCPCD is already activated or not.

DHCPCD

Command: sudo service dhcpcd status

Here DHCPCD was activated. but if DHCPCD is not activated and follows the below commands.

Command: sudo service dhcpcd start

Command: sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd

dhcpcd.conf

Confirm the original status of the configuration of the file /etc/network/interfaces. the ‘iface’ configuration needs to be set at ‘manual’ for the interfaces. After a dhcpcd activation, run the below command to edit the dhcpcd.conf configuration file to set up a static IP for your Raspberry Pi.

Command: sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

• The type of network connection is:
  • wlan0 – Raspberry Pi is connected to the router wirelessly.
  • eth0 – Raspberry Pi connected using an Ethernet cable.
• Scroll down to the bottom of the file and add below file.

Interface wlan0 // for wifi connection. 

•  static ip_address=192.168.0.XXX/24 // To change “X” value only. 
•  static routers=192.168.0.1 
•  static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1 

• To exit the editor, press “ctrl+x” and press the letter “Y” then hit enter.
• Now reboot a raspberry pi, and everything should be set.

Finalizing the Static IP

Command: sudo reboot

• The new static IP is assigned to the Raspberry Pi from the dhcpcd.conf file.
• Use the below command to check that it is working correctly.

Command: ifconfig

Now the new static IP address is assigned to the raspberry pi.
