Configure static IP address in Ubuntu 18.04 Server


As we discussed in the features section, network configuration in Ubuntu
18.04 server is controlled by “netplan” utility.

To configure the static ip address, edit the file “/etc/netplan/50-cloud-


init.yaml“,

Replace the IP address details, gateway and dns server that suits your
environment.

pkumar@linuxtechi:~$ sudo vi /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml

Now apply these changes using below netplan command,


pkumar@linuxtechi:~$ sudo netplan apply

pkumar@linuxtechi:~$

If you want to run above netplan command in debug command, then execute
below command,

pkumar@linuxtechi:~$ sudo netplan apply --debug

Now you can verify the IP address details using ip command,

pkumar@linuxtechi:~$ ip add show
