In this tutorial, I will show you how to convert from DHCP to Static IP address in CentOS 6.5. In CentOS, Fedora or RHEL, you can configure network interfaces by using configuration files located in:
nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=08:00:27:76:4c:d5 TYPE=Ethernet ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none IPV6INIT=no USERCTL=no NM_CONTROLLED=yes PEERDNS=yes IPADDR=192.168.174.128 NETMASK=255.255.255.0
Configure Default Gateway:
Edit the network file:
/etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=centos6.5 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
Configure DNS Server:
nano /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8 # Replace with your DNS1 nameserver 192.168.1.1 # Replace with your DNS2
Restart Network Interface:
# /etc/init.d/network restart
Check it now:
# ifconfig
Now check the connectivity:
ping google.com
