How to set static IP address in Raspbian

I assume that Raspbian has been assigned an IP address automatically by your home wireless router using DHCP. To set a static IP address for it:

• Run ifconfig. Note the interface (say eth0) and the values of the inet addr, Bcast and Mask entries.

• Run netstat -nr. Note down the values of the Gateway and Destination entries.

• Open the /etc/dhcpcd.conf file in an editor.

• Find the commented lines starting with Example static IP configuration. Uncomment the lines concerned with interface, ip_address and router and fill in your details there. For example:

interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.0.99/24
static routers=192.168.0.1

• You will also need to set the DNS servers manually, as described here.

• Reboot the system and it should have the static IP address you assigned.
