Static IP.

I’ve successfully configured an image to boot from an ISO but I’m struggling to get a static IP address assigned. I add the following changes to my build.conf file with no luck. When I enter the console and check messages the image is still trying to DHCP an address. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

NET_USE_DHCP=Off
NET_IP_ADDRESS=192.168.0.1
NET_MASK=255.255.255.0
NET_GATEWAY=192.168.0.254
NET_DHCP_DELAY=30
NET_FILE_ENABLED=Off
NET_DNS1=192.168.0.2

Re: Static IP.

That should go into thinstation.conf.buildtime . That becomes the default set of variables that TS will run with.

Do you have control over your DHCP server? If so, create a reservation for the address.

Do you have admin access to your DHCP server? If so, you can create a reservation for the address.

Sorry, I was not clear. I'm placing those changes in the buildtime file. They don't seem to be taking effect. Is there another config setting required to disable dhcp? Other settings are taking effect so I know the file is being read. Just seems like the dhcp flag isn't being applied. No dhcp server is available and this is a one off solution so I'm hesitant to configure a dhcp server for a single host. Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: Static IP.

Below is my thinstation.conf.buildtime file.

I'm building this and uploading the ISO to a datastore on ESXi5.5. The ISO is mounted to a VM configured for "other linux 2.6". 8GB RAM, no disk, 2 cores, 1 NIC. When I boot; the image is still trying to DHCP an address. Sorry for the slow responses. I'm trying to integrate this with a different team so my access to the build environment is limited. Also as an FYI, I attempted the same config with VMware Fusion and had the same failure attempting to get a static IP address to work.

Re: Static IP.

Hmmmm, try dropping networkmanager and putting in autonet in build.conf

Re: Static IP.

Sorry for the slow response, wanted to be sure no further assistance was required. Autonet worked like a champ and my one off thinstation appliance is working wonderfully. Thanks for the support.

Re: Static IP.

Network Manager supports both IPv6 and IPv4 addressing, which I'm not sure autonet does.

As a result, the configuration options are different, such as NET_IPV4_ADDRESS or NET_IPV4_GATEWAY.

autonet is probably best for a static configuration anyway.
