Note that the device names and the connection names are not the same. The nmcli command shown below will list network connections and devices on the system. To configure a static IP address on a Red Hat system, let's start by listing NetworkManager's connection.
The best way is to look at the configuration file. If it changes when the system restarts, it's clearly dynamically assigned, but even a dynamic address has some resistance to change. There's no simple command that you can run to determine whether the IP address on a Linux system is assigned by DHCP or static. In this post, we'll look at how this task is managed on both Red Hat (RHEL) and Ubuntu systems.
When a system is a server or will be remotely administered, however, it is generally more convenient for these systems to have static addresses, providing stable and consistent connections with users and applications.įortunately, the steps required to change a Linux system's IP address from dynamic to static are fairly easy, though they will be a little different depending on the distribution you are using. These are referred to as "dynamic addresses" and may change any time the system is rebooted. IP addresses on Linux systems are often assigned automatically by Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers.
