So you’ve installed a new VM on VirtualBox and everything went smoothly. When you boot up the VM and type

and here is what you got:

how to assign static ip virtual machine

You noticed that there isn’t any IP address that begins with 192.168! On your host machine, you type

for Windows, or

For Linux/Mac, you got something like this:

how to assign static ip virtual machine

You may even try to ping the VM’s address but no luck!

how to assign static ip virtual machine

Well, I’ll show you how to fix that.

How to change network settings so you can ping the VM

The first thing you do is going to Machine->Settings and click on Network then set the settings as below:

virtualbox VM change network settings to bridge mode

Attached to -> Bridge Adapter

Promiscuous Mode -> Allow All

Check Cable Connected.

Then click OK.

Wait for up to 1 minute for the VM to apply the changes. When you type

again, you should see there is one IP of the VM begins with 192.168

Default IP after applying new network settings.

And you can ping from the host machine to the VM:

That’s great, however, the IP can be changed without you knowing it. That’s usually not a good thing. Next, I’m going to show you how to set a static (fixed) IP for the VM. No worries, it’s pretty quick!

How to set static IP for VirtualBox’s VM

Noticed that when you typed ip a , you see the network interface of your IP (begins with 192.168) is something like enp0s3 (yours could be different). You need to know this for the next step.

Next, type:

Since your VM is new, the file shouldn’t be available yet. The command above creates the file.

Next, use your favorite editor the put the following text in the file:

Replace enp0s3 with your VM’s network interface and 192.168.1.97 with your favorite IP address and save the file.

Here, I set the IP to 192.168.1.98 to make it different from what it currently is:

how to assign static ip virtual machine

You should see the IP updated as in the config:

how to assign static ip virtual machine

Now you have a static IP that you can ping from the host and other VM on your PC.

I build softwares that solve problems. I also love writing/documenting things I learn/want to learn.

5 thoughts on “How To Set Static IP To VirtualBox VM”

Thank you for this article. My NAT settings occasionally fail and this is the only way I’ve found to reset it. After establishing a connection in Bridged Mode I can go back and set it to NAT again and it works.

Hi, thanks for this manual, as of march 2023, “gateway4:” is deprecated (manual an warning) one should use “default routes ” but now I’m out, could you update your manual to the new procedure to “noob understanding” form to cover the new situation? Thanks in advance

Sorry wrong formatting …

You should replace `gateway4: 192.168.1.1` with “yaml routes: – to: default via: 192.168.1.1 “` https://dothanhlong.org/virtualbox-assign-static-ip-to-vm/

Thanks for the tutorial. However, I encountered the problem that I couldn’t connect external network (ex. ping 8.8.8.8) after following the steps.

Here’s how I solve the problem. We cannot set the “favorite IP address” to any address. The first 3 part of the address should be the same as the gateway. For example, the gateway is 192.168.1.1, then we can only set favorite IP address to 192.168.1.X. We cannot set it to, for example, 192.168.56.101.

Please enlighten me if I’m wrong.

You are correct about setting the IP. However, the DNS server is different.

How to create a VirtualBox VM with a static IP and internet access

Introduction.

Recently I’ve been working on installing Apache Airavata in a VirtualBox VM running on my laptop using our “standalone” Ansible installation settings. The goal is to have a locally running instance of Airavata that I can connect to when developing the Airavata Django Portal which I’ve been working on. That means I need Django running on my laptop to be able to access the VM (host-to-guest access) and the VM does need to be able to access the internet (guest-to-internet access) since the Ansible playbooks that are executed against the VM download and install software from the internet.

It turns out that getting this set up is not so trivial, but also, it’s not that hard once you know what VirtualBox provides and how to configure it. In summary, the approach I’ll give here is to create a VirtualBox VM:

  • with the default NAT network adapter (for internet access)
  • and then add a host-only network adapter and configure the VM with a static IP address (for host-to-guest access)

A quick word about VirtualBox networking modes. You can read all about the various networking modes here but here’s a quick summary:

  • NAT – the networking mode of the default network adapter when you create a new VM. This gives internet access but applications running on the host can’t make network connections to the VM.
  • Bridged – with this mode VirtualBox uses a special driver for the host’s physical network interface to create a virtual network interface for the VM. The VM gets an IP on the same network that the host is physically connected to. Host-to-guest communication and internet access are available.
  • Host-only – with this mode VirtualBox creates a virtual network that the host and the VMs are connected to. This allows host-to-guest communication but this virtual network has no access to the internet.

Now you might be wondering, why not just use a bridged network adapter? Well, you can, but there is one substantial downside. Whenever the network the host is connected to changes, the IP address of the VM will change. This is exacerbated in my case by the fact that I exclusively use wireless networks on my laptop, so my network is regularly changing. Also, I really need a static IP address for the VM to configure the Ansible scripts and because part of the process is to generate a self-signed SSL certificate for the VM’s IP address. But, if you’re using a wired workstation or you don’t have a lot of configuration dependent on the VM’s IP address, bridged networking might be a good solution to get you both internet access and host-to-guest networking.

Installing CentOS 7

Creating a CentOS 7 VM is covered well in other places (I used Jeramy Singleton’s guide ), so I won’t cover all of the steps here. But here are some quick pointers:

  • Set the type of the VM to Linux and the version to Red Hat (64-bit)
  • Download a minimal ISO from https://www.centos.org/download/
  • Log in as root and change the working directory to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and edit the ifcfg-enp0s3 config file and set ONBOOT to yes . Then reboot the VM to get network access.

Also note that whereas in Jeramy Singleton’s instructions he has you create a port forward (2222->22) to be able to SSH into the VM, in the following we’ll add a host-only network instead and use that IP address to SSH into the VM on the standard port 22.

Configuring host-only network

First, make sure that there is a host-only network to connect to. In my case, a default one was already created, called vboxnet0 . To check if you already have one, start VirtualBox and then click on the Global Tools button and make sure you are on the Host Manager Network tab.

how to assign static ip virtual machine

Take note of the IP Address of the network and the network mask. In the screenshot above, the IP Address is 192.168.99.1 with network mask of 255.255.255.0 which means I can assign IP addresses 192.168.99.2-254 statically. I’ve disabled the DHCP server since I’ll assign IP addresses statically, but in theory you utilize static and dynamic IP assignment (if you do that note that the DHCP server will hand out IP addresses from 100-254 by default, so don’t use those).

Now add a host-only network adapter to the VM. First, make sure that the VM is shut down. Next, in the VirtualBox app select the VM and click on the Settings button. Click on the Network tab. Adapter 1 should be your NAT adapter. Click on the Adapter 2 subtab, select Host-only Adapter and the name of the host-only network ( vboxnet0 in this case).

how to assign static ip virtual machine

Click OK and start up the VM. Log in as root through VirtualBox console. Run

to find the name of the host-only network interface. In my case it was called enp0s8 .

how to assign static ip virtual machine

Create a file called ifcfg-enp0s8 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and give it the following contents:

Where NETMASK should match the settings for your host-only network as obtained above and IPADDR should be an available IP address in the host-only network (again, typically in 2-254 range).

Now when you run

you should see the IP address you configured in the ifcfg-enp0s8

how to assign static ip virtual machine

You should now be able to SSH to the VM from the host OS:

You can now connect applications running on the host OS to network services running on the VM via the host-only network and the VM can also connect to the wider internet via the NAT interface.

  • Aaron Kili’s post on adding a host-only network adapter was very helpful. He also has instructions on how to configure a static IP on Debian-based distributions.

How to assign a static Public IP to Azure VM

How to assign a static Public IP to Azure VM

An Azure Virtual Machine is an excellent computing resource provided by Microsoft, and you need to pay based on your usage. Act as a server. Moreover, you can get the same user experience as your computer. This article will discuss multiple ways to associate a Static Public IP address with your Azure Virtual Machine.

Azure VM Public IP

How to assign a static public ip to the virtual machine during the creation time, assign a static public ip while creating a virtual machine using powershell, how to assign a static public ip address for an existing virtual machine, wrapping up.

You need a Public IP address of a Virtual Machine to connect to the VM from the Internet. Public IPs are of two types: Dynamic and static.

When you create the Virtual Machine, the system assigns a dynamic IP address to your Azure Virtual Machine, and Each time you restart the Virtual Machine, the dynamic public IP changes to a new one.

It is odd to see your Virtual Machine’s Public IP keep changing, and most importantly, it has many disadvantages. For instance, the script that contains your old Public IP will fail since the IP is changed now.

Suppose you don’t want the Public IP of your Azure Virtual Machine to change always or to avoid this type of scenario. In that case, you can make the Public IP static, and that’s where associating a static Public IP to your Azure Virtual Machine comes into the picture.

If you want to avoid this type of scenario and don’t want to use the Public IP address, you can use Azure VM FQDN as a better solution.

Now, let’s discuss how to assign a static Public IP to Azure VM.

You can associate or assign a static Public IP while creating a new Virtual Machine and an existing Azure Virtual Machine.

When creating a new Virtual Machine, you can assign a new static IP address by following the below instructions.

  • Log in to the Azure Portal .
  • Search for “Virtual Machines” and click on the search result “Virtual Machines”.
  • Click on the + Create option –> Azure Virtual Machine.

Check out how to assign a static Public IP to a Virtual Machine during creation time using PowerShell for a step-by-step tutorial.

When you already have a Virtual Machine, you can assign a static Public IP address using the instructions below.

  • Now, you will see the list of Virtual Machines you created. Click on the one where you want to change the Public IP address to Static.
  • Click on the Networking option from the left navigation.

How to Set Up a Static IP Address for your Hyper-V VM

The problem.

In this blog, you will learn how to assign a static IP address to your virtual machine (VM) in Hyper-V, so that you can easily connect to it with RDP, SSH, or VScode. You will also learn why the default switch does not allow you to do that, and how to create a new internal switch with NAT. This is a useful skill for anyone who works with Hyper-V and wants to avoid the hassle of changing IP addresses every time they restart their VM.

The default switch is hyper-v is not meant to have a static IP.

One possible solution is to set up a new internal switch with NAT and connect the VMs to it. This example uses the subnet 192.168.98.0/24 for the virtual network and the IP address 192.168.98.1 as the gateway.

Here are some powershell commands:

Create a new Internal switch

Get the Interface Index. Take note of its ifIndex to use in the next step.

Assign ip to the switch. This is the default GW. Assign it to the interface index you find above.

Create a NAT gateway

Here the all the commands in one block:

Next, you need to connect the VM to the new internal switch. Then, you need to set up the correct IP configuration for the VM. For example:

Unlike the Default Switch, there is not automatic network configuration trough DHCP, so inside the VM you have to configure a static ip for example 192.168.98.2.

You can now connect to the VM using RDP from your host machine. Just enter the IP address of the VM in the Remote Desktop Connection window. If you have configured SSH in the VM, you can also edit files remotely with VSCode. But that is a topic for another blog post.

How to assign a static IP address to my VMWare machine?

I currently have two VMWare Fusion VMs setup on my development machine. The first one (Windows Server 2003) has a static IP address, and I am using my hosts file to direct certain URLs to it.

I would like to do something similar with my second VM (Windows Server 2008), but I can't find any way to assign a static IP address anywhere in the settings.

How can I go about assigning a specific IP address to my second VM?

  • 1 You assign a static IP in the VM exactly the same way you would assign a static IP as if it had been a physical machine . When it comes to VMs you can and should ignore the fact that it is a VM 95% of the time. –  Zoredache Dec 10, 2013 at 20:44

From the "Start" menu search for "View Network Connections". The dialog that opens should show you a list of your network adapters. Right click on the connection you want to configure and select "Properties." From the next dialog double-click on the "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" entry to configure the IPv4 addresses.

  • So I should be doing this on the Virtual Machine itself? –  Abe Miessler Dec 10, 2013 at 19:37
  • Yes.... but you need to be sure you have your network adapter setup correctly on the VM. You should probably be using a bridged or host-only adapter, not a NAT. –  heavyd Dec 10, 2013 at 19:42
  • 1 Alternatively, if you use a bridged network adapter, you could probably setup a static lease in your router for your VM, if you have access to the router that is (this is what I do on my own network, its much easier to manage all static IPs in one place rather than on the individual machines). –  heavyd Dec 10, 2013 at 19:44

How to assign static IP to Ubuntu Server (VirtualBox)

Please see my setup here:

NAT is set up here:

enter image description here

Host-only adapter is enabled here:

enter image description here

network for virtual box is configured here:

enter image description here

then I set up interface on the server like this:

enter image description here

then I run sudo netplan apply and I should be all set. I can ping myself on the server:

enter image description here

but can't ping the server from my local computer:

enter image description here

Hence the network isn't actually connected to the Internet. What am I doing wrong here ?

network connection is now set to "bridged":

enter image description here

  • You can either set the network connection to Bridged or set port forwarding on host computer. –  John Ronald Apr 7, 2020 at 11:29
  • I've set connection to "bridged" but it didn't help. –  mr_incredible Apr 7, 2020 at 12:58
  • If you did so, your IP address should change and should be in the same network as hosted computer. Is that right ? –  John Ronald Apr 7, 2020 at 17:13
  • Well ... no, because I assigned static IP of 192.168.56.102 to the server should share the name network with the host. So the IP of the server is unchanged. But I need the server to have access to the Internet from host. Bridged connection is set but didn't make difference to the virtual machine. –  mr_incredible Apr 7, 2020 at 23:33
  • I know this setup should work hence I created a thread here. –  mr_incredible Apr 7, 2020 at 23:34

The answer is Yes if you assign a static ip from your router for your virtual box virtual machine. (This need specific ip address from your local router).

The answer is No if you aren't assign a static ip from your router for your virtual box virtual machine.

If not how can we access the virtual machine via our laptop terminal ?

This is the method how to do that !

Keep in mind this is temporary method and all settings are reset after you restart the virtual machine . This will also enable internet access on your virtual box sever.

According to your question ,

First configure NAT (Network Address Translation) setting for Network Adapter 1

NAT Configuration

Then configure Host-only Adapter setting for Network Adapter 2

Host-only Adapter configuration

After that manual IP address assignment

Manual ip address assignment

Here don't enable the DHCP server as below

enter image description here

These are the settings for your server virtual machine hardware (assume that your are using a Ubuntu server virtual machine) !

After that install the Ubuntu server on the virtual hard disk ...

After you log on to the Ubuntu server (i think you provided administrative credentials ) , you have to do the followings.

First issue the following command to see the ip settings assigned for network adapters on the virtual Ubuntu server

On my test server there are eth0 , eth1 network interface cards , I have selected eth1 for this because eth0 is already assigned with an ip address by system default.

On Ubuntu server switch to the root user as ,

Then the appear root user prompt as below ,

Then issue the following command

Once you done this exit from the root user by typing exit

Here don't turn off the virtual machine !

Then minimize the virtual machine and fireup a local terminal

After that issue ifconfig on the local terminal . Here you can see the various network adapters including the host only adaptor.

Then try to ping the ip address of the virtual machine as below

If this ping is success you can now ssh to the your virtual Ubuntu server as below

Here you can provide the virtual server password .

So I think this method is worked for you if you are interested .

How to configure a static IP address on CentOS 7 with VirtualBox

This article aims to explain how to configure a static IP address on a CentOS 7 virtual machine using VirtualBox.

We will go step by step, and at the end of this blog, you will be able to ssh into your virtual machine using a never-changing IP.

What is a static IP?

Every computer has a random local IP address unless you have specified the contrary. These addresses are not fixed. It means that they could change.

In most cases, you don’t care about the IP address, but you usually do with virtual machines.

If you have a MySQL service running on a virtual machine, you would want to save the connection configuration once and re-use it every time. If the IP address changes, you have to modify the connection settings.

Another approach is to use port-forwarding. This approach is okay until you have 3 or more virtual machines with multiple services and ports to keep track of.

The following image shows the ideal local development environment with static IP addresses.

Configure VirtualBox Networking

The app VirtualBox has some networking settings we have to set before changing the VM Linux configuration.

We want our VM to have the following:

  • Access to the internet
  • Access to our host computer

And we also want to be able to access the VM by IP.

Step 1: Stop the VM

You have to stop the VM before doing the following steps.

Step 2: Create Ethernet Adapter

Click on Tools - Networks and make sure you have an ethernet adapter created. Write down the IPv4 Prefix, because the static IP will be in this range.

Image description

In the image above:

  • The gateway is 192.168.56.1
  • The network mask is 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)

The static IP of my VM will be in the 192.168.56.xx range.

Step 3: Change adapters

Right-click on the virtual machine and choose the “Network” tab. We are going to add 2 adapters:

  • The first one is going to be a NAT. This way the VM will have internet access.
  • The second one has to be a “Host-only Adapter” with the ethernet adapter of the previous step. This is the adapter that will have the static IP assigned.

Image description

Configure VM Centos 7

Now that we have configured the VirtualBox networking, we will configure the inner VM networking settings.

Step 1: Start the VM

Double-click on the VM or right-click and start.

Step 2: Get the connection name

We know the static IP will be assigned to the second adapter, the Host-only Adapter.

Let’s check the vm networking using ip addr | head -n 20 :

Image description

  • enp0s3: NAT Adapter
  • enp0s8: Host-Only Adapter

Now we know we have to assign an IP to the enp0s8 device. To get its connection name, you have to execute the following statement:

nmcli -p device

Image description

The connection name is “Ethernet connection 1”.

Step 3: Configure connection IP

There are two ways of doing it:

  • Graphically with nmtui
  • With bash statements and nmcli

In our case, we will execute some statements in the console.

If we execute ip addr | head -n 20 again, we will see the previous IP address.

Image description

Step 4: Reboot

The last step is to reboot the VM

Test the connection

Now we can connect to the VM using the command ssh [email protected]

How To Assign An IP Address In VMware Workstation

Copy to Clipboard

Introduction

Welcome to our guide on how to assign an IP address in VMware Workstation. As a powerful virtualization software, VMware Workstation allows users to create virtual machines and run different operating systems on a single machine. Whether you’re setting up a test environment or developing software, being able to assign IP addresses to your virtual machines is crucial for network connectivity and communication.

Understanding how IP addresses work and knowing how to assign them effectively is essential for anyone working with virtual machines. In this guide, we will provide you with a step-by-step process to assign an IP address in VMware Workstation. We will also discuss the different types of IP addresses and common issues that may arise during the assignment process.

Before we dive into the details, let’s briefly explain what an IP address is. An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique numerical identifier assigned to each device connected to a network. It serves as a way to identify and locate devices within a network and enables communication between them. IP addresses consist of four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.1.

Now that we have a basic understanding of IP addresses, let’s explore the different types you may encounter when working with VMware Workstation.

Understanding IP Addresses

Before we delve into the process of assigning an IP address in VMware Workstation, it’s important to have a solid understanding of what IP addresses are and how they function in a network environment.

IP addresses are numerical identifiers that uniquely identify devices on a network. They allow devices to communicate with each other using the Internet Protocol (IP) . Each IP address consists of four sets of numbers, ranging from 0 to 255, separated by periods. For example, 192.168.0.1 is a common IP address format.

There are two main types of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 addresses are the most widely used and consist of 32 bits, resulting in approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses. With the rapid growth of internet-connected devices, IPv4 addresses are becoming scarce. To address this, IPv6 was introduced, which uses a 128-bit address structure and provides a staggering number of unique addresses.

IP addresses are typically divided into two parts: the network part and the host part. The network part identifies the network to which the device belongs, while the host part identifies the specific device on that network.

IP addresses can be assigned in a couple of ways. Static IP addresses remain fixed and do not change unless manually modified. They are commonly used for devices that require a permanent address, such as servers. Dynamic IP addresses, on the other hand, are assigned by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. These addresses are temporary and can change each time a device connects to the network.

Understanding IP addresses is crucial for efficiently managing network resources and ensuring proper communication between devices. Now that we have a clear understanding of IP addresses, let’s move on to the process of assigning an IP address in VMware Workstation.

Types of IP Addresses

When working with IP addresses in VMware Workstation, it’s important to be familiar with the different types you may encounter. Let’s explore the main types of IP addresses:

1. Public IP Addresses: Public IP addresses are globally unique addresses that are assigned to devices connected directly to the internet. These addresses allow devices to communicate with other devices on the internet. Public IP addresses are obtained from Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and are required for devices like web servers or email servers that need to be accessible from anywhere on the internet.

2. Private IP Addresses : Private IP addresses are used within private networks, such as a home or office network, to allow devices to communicate with each other. These addresses are not globally unique and are reserved for private use only. Common private IP address ranges include 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, and 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255.

3. Static IP Addresses: Static IP addresses are manually assigned to a device and remain fixed unless changed manually. They are often used for devices that require a consistent and permanent IP address, such as servers or network printers. Static IP addresses are beneficial for services that need to be accessed consistently without the address changing.

4. Dynamic IP Addresses: Dynamic IP addresses are assigned automatically by a DHCP server. When a device connects to a network, the DHCP server assigns an available IP address from a pool of addresses. This allows for efficient allocation of IP addresses and simplifies network management. Dynamic IP addresses are commonly used for devices that do not require a fixed IP address, such as laptops, smartphones, and other devices that connect to the network temporarily.

Understanding the various types of IP addresses is essential when configuring your virtual machines in VMware Workstation. Now that we have explored the different types of IP addresses, let’s dive into the step-by-step guide to assign an IP address in VMware Workstation.

How To Set Static or Permanent IP Addresses for Virtual Machines in KVM

Default KVM behaviour is for KVM to issue DHCP temporary IP addresses for its virtual machines. You can suppress this behaviour for newly defined subnets by simply unticking the “Enable DHCP” option for the defined subnet in the Virtual Networks section in the KVM dashboard.    However, the NAT bridged network interface is set to automatically issue DHCP IPs. This can be inconvenient when you want to login to the machine from a shell terminal on your PC or laptop rather than accessing the machine via the KVM console terminal.    To change these IPs from DHCP to Static, you need to carry out the following steps, using my current environment as an example:    Let’s say I want to change the IP of a machine called suse1 from DHCP to Static IP.      1. On the KVM host machine, display the list of current KVM networks:    virsh net-list    root@yoga:/etc# virsh net-list Name State Autostart Persistent —————————————————– default active yes yes network-10.0.7.0 active yes yes network-10.0.8.0 active yes yes    The interface of the machine I want to set is located on network “default”.    2. Find the MAC address or addresses of the virtual machine whose IP address you want to set:    Note the machine name is the name used to define the machine in KVM. It need not be the same as the OS hostname of the machine.    virsh dumpxml <machine name> | grep -i ‘<mac’    root@yoga:/home/kevin# virsh dumpxml suse1 | grep -i ‘<mac’ <mac address=’52:54:00:b4:0c:8d’/> <mac address=’52:54:00:e9:97:91’/>    So the machine has two network interfaces.    I know from ifconfig (or ip a) that the interface I want to set is the first one, eth0, with mac address: 52:54:00:b4:0c:8d.    This is the one that is using the network called “default”.    suse1:~ # ip a 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:b4:0c:8d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.179/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global eth0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::5054:ff:feb4:c8d/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:e9:97:91 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.0.7.11/24 brd 10.0.7.255 scope global eth1 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet 10.0.7.100/24 brd 10.0.7.255 scope global secondary eth1 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fee9:9791/64 scope link valid_lft forever pre    3. Edit the network configuration file:    virsh net-edit <network name>    So in this example I do:    virsh net-edit default   

Add the following entry between <dhcp> and </dhcp> as follows:    <host mac=’xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx’ name=’virtual_machine’ ip=’xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’/>    whereby    mac = mac address of the virtual machine    name = KVM virtual machine name    IP = IP address you want to set for this interface    So for this example I add:    <host mac=’52:54:00:b4:0c:8d’ name=’suse1′ ip=’192.168.122.11’/>    then save and close the file.    4. Then restart the KVM DHCP service:    virsh net-destroy <network name>    virsh net-destroy default    virsh net-start <network name>    virsh net-start default    5. Shutdown the virtual machine:    virsh shutdown <machine name>    virsh shutdown suse1    6. Stop the network service:    virsh net-destroy default    7. Restart the libvertd system:    systemctl restart virtlogd.socket systemctl restart libvirtd    8. Restart the network:    virsh net-start <network name>    virsh net-start default    9. Then restart the KVM desktop virt-manager    virt-manager    10. Then restart the virtual machine again, either on the KVM desktop or else using the command:    virsh start <virtual machine>    virsh start suse1    If the steps have all been performed correctly, the network interface on the machine should now have the static IP address you defined instead of a DHCP address from KVM.    Verify on the guest machine with ifconfig or ip a

Create a virtual machine with a static private IP address using the Azure CLI

  • 6 contributors

A virtual machine (VM) is automatically assigned a private IP address from a range that you specify. This range is based on the subnet in which the VM is deployed. The VM keeps the address until the VM is deleted. Azure dynamically assigns the next available private IP address from the subnet you create a VM in. Assign a static IP address to the VM if you want a specific IP address in the subnet.

Prerequisites

Use the Bash environment in Azure Cloud Shell . For more information, see Quickstart for Bash in Azure Cloud Shell .

Quick links, how to set static internal ip in ubuntu using the gui, how to set static internal ip in ubuntu using the terminal and text editor.

There comes a time when you might have to configure Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution with a static IP address. While you can't change your external static IP address, since it's the one your internet service provider provides, you can change your internal one. This is the IP address used on your network inside your home or office.

Though many tasks on Ubuntu usually require you to visit the terminal app and deal with lines of text, changing your internal IP is easy. You can do this through the settings app and the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Of course, if you want, you can also swap things out by going through the terminal. Here's how.

Without any technical know-how or knowledge, you can set a static IP in Ubuntu through the settings app. Just note, you will have to use the terminal once to find a range of IP addresses that you can assign. Once you do that, you just tap the Windows Key or the Superkey on your device and search for Settings . Once the app is open, proceed with the steps below.

  • If you're connected to the internet via Wi-Fi, choose Wi-Fi . If you're connected via Ethernet, select Network.
  • Once the interface is open, click the settings icon next to the network you're connected to.
  • From the list of tabs at the top, choose IPv4.
  • Under ipv4 method, be sure to choose Manual.
  • Under Addresses, enter the IP address, the Netmask, and the Gateway you want to use. For finding IP addresses that'll work on your network, you can proceed with the steps below.
  • Open a terminal session. With Ctrl, Alt, and T. Install net-tools with the command sudo apt install net-tools.
  • In this case, we have an inet of 192.168.1.176 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0. We can enter those numbers and can calculate the usable range using this website .
  • When you've calculated the usable range of addresses, choose a valid IP address that falls within this range. Then, you can click Apply at the top.

Any changes you apply will automatically go into effect. If you want, you can also use the terminal to confirm your IP address. Launch it with Ctrl, Alt, and T on your keyboard. Once launched, enter the command ip addr or ip a . You should see an interface IP address listed.

If you're a bit more technical and want to set a static IP in Ubuntu using the terminal, that is possible. You'll have to edit some lines of text and go through a few extra steps, but here's how:

  • Display information about your network. Use the command nmcli connection show. You'll see a network name, a UUID, a Type, and a Device. If this package isn't installed (though it should be, as it comes preinstalled with Ubuntu), then run sudo apt-get install network-manager
  • Note down the range of IP addresses you'll be able to use. Use the command ip addr to find out your machine's current IP address. This tutorial assumes that your network adapter is called enp0s3. If it isn't, then look for the correct one and also change the interface names in the subsequent commands. In the above example, we have an inet of 10.0.2.15, with the /24 denoting that the network uses a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask. In most cases, your usable network range will be whatever is in the first three places of the internal IP address, and then any unused number on your network between 1 and 255 in the last section. For example, we can use 10.0.2.16. If you're unsure, you can enter the subnet mask and your internal IP address into this website to calculate the usable range.
  • Note the IP address of your default gateway with the command ip r. In our example, it's 10.2.2.2.
  • Next, we'll add a new static connection option. Run the following command, making sure to change the numbers after "ip4" and "gw4" depending on your network conditions. These are the IP address you want to change your machine to and the current default gateway, respectively. sudo nmcli con add con-name "static" ifname enp0s3 type ethernet ip4 10.0.2.13/24 gw4 10.0.2.2 In our case, we do the following.
  • Set your DNS, manual DHCP (so, a static IP), and enable the connection. You can do that by running the following commands in succession. nmcli con mod "static" ipv4.dns "1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8" You can swap out the DNS servers above for whatever you want, they are in order of primary and secondary. nmcli con mod "static" ipv4.method manual; nmcli con up "static" ifname enp0s3 Once done, you can run nmcli con show to see if the new connection is enabled. If the output above looks like yours, then you're ready to go!

how to assign static ip virtual machine

A static IP address can be very useful in some cases, and can even improve your security. If you want to set up a local server or improve your internet speeds, configuring a static IP address on different devices is a very simple process. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps so you can have a working static IP address in no time.

Note that ExpressVPN does not offer static IP addresses at the moment. This article is only informational on how you might set one up.

What is a static IP?

An IP address is a unique series of numbers that identifies each device on a local network or the internet. An IP address can be dynamic or static.

Most people use dynamic IP addresses, which change automatically and regularly—most commonly every 24 hours or after a router reset . This means when you go online, your IP address should be different from the one you had the day before.

A static IP address, also called a dedicated IP address, doesn’t change. This means whenever you connect to the internet after disconnecting, you’ll get the same IP address. It usually costs extra to get a static IP address. 

And while dynamic IP addresses generally offer greater privacy and security for the average user, static IP addresses can be useful for certain systems.

Why you may want a static IP address

Most residential internet services use a dynamic IP configuration through DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). While a static IP address could be the best approach in some cases, it’s important that you know what they are good for, and see if you’re in one of these use cases. Here are the most common ones:

You want to host a server For hosting game, web, email, or other types of servers, a static IP provides a consistent address for users to connect to, making connections easy.

Your IoT device requires it Some Internet of Things (IoT) devices require static IPs to function correctly and remain consistently accessible for monitoring and control.

You want a more stable connection File downloads and uploads tend to be slightly faster with a static IP.

You want more security Static IPs facilitate the implementation of security measures like IP whitelisting, ensuring only authorized devices can access certain online services.

You want to simplify your network management

Assigning static IPs to devices makes network management easier, allowing for straightforward identification, troubleshooting, and configuration of networked devices.

How to set up a static IP address

Setting up a static IP address is fairly simple but varies per device. However, the first thing you should sort out before configuring is the static IP address itself. You would inquire with your internet service provider (ISP) about getting a static IP , which usually involves a small extra charge.

How to set a static IP address on a router

You can assign a static IP address through your router for any device on its network. To do this, you’ll need the MAC address of whatever device you want to configure with a static IP address, and that device must be connected to the router. Lastly, note that most routers have different software, so these are general instructions to get you started. 

  • Access the router. Open a web browser and enter your router’s IP address into the address bar. You can usually find this on the back of your router or in the manual.
  • Log in. Enter your username and password to log into the router’s admin panel. If you haven’t changed these from the defaults, they should also be on the router or manual.
  • Navigate to LAN settings. Look for a section in the admin panel labeled “LAN” or “Network Settings”. This might be under “Advanced Settings” depending on your router.
  • Find DHCP or static IP settings. Locate the DHCP settings within the LAN or Network Settings. You may need to switch from DHCP to Manual or Static IP configuration.
  • Fill in the IP address , Gateway , Network prefix length , and DNS fields.
  • Save and apply. After entering all necessary information, save and apply your changes. The router may need to restart for changes to take effect.

How to set a static IP address on Windows 10

Assigning a static IP to your Windows 10 device is much easier than on your router. Just follow these instructions:

  • Go to Settings. Press the Windows key, type “Settings,” and press Enter.
  • Click Network and Internet and then Network and Sharing Center .
  • Click Change adapter settings on the left pane.
  • Right-click your network connection and select Properties .
  • Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties .
  • Fill in the IP address, Gateway, Network prefix length, and DNS fields.
  • Click OK to save your changes, then click OK again to exit the properties menu.

How to set a static IP address on Windows 11

The steps for Windows 11 are very similar to those on Windows 10:

  • Open Settings. Click on the Start menu, select Settings, or press Windows + I on your keyboard.
  • In the Settings menu, click on Network & Internet .
  • Choose the network you are connected to. If you are using Wi-Fi, click on “Wi-Fi” and then select your network. For a wired connection, click on “Ethernet” and then on your network connection.
  • Edit IP Assignment. Scroll down and click on “Hardware properties.” Then, find the “IP assignment” section and click the “Edit” button.
  • Change to Manual. In the “Edit IP settings” window, change the setting from “Automatic (DHCP)” to “Manual.” Toggle on the “IPv4” switch to enable manual IP configuration.
  • Click Save to apply your settings.

How to set a static IP address on macOS

To configure a static IP on your Mac, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen and select System Preferences .

7. Fill in the IPv4 Address field with the static IP address you want to assign to your Mac. 

8. Optionally, navigate to the DNS tab in the same window to manually enter DNS server addresses if required.

9. Click OK to close the Details settings window.

How to set a static IP address on Android

Setting up a static IP address on Android is straightforward. Just follow these steps:

  • Tap on the Settings icon on your home screen or app drawer.
  • Scroll down and tap on Wi-Fi . Ensure Wi-Fi is turned on, and you’re connected to the network you want to configure.
  • Select the gear icon beside your current network.
  • Find the IP settings section and change it from DHCP to Static .
  • Scroll down and tap Save to apply your new static IP settings.

How to set a static IP address on iOS

On iOS, the process is quite similar. Follow these instructions:

1. Tap the Settings icon on your home screen or App Library.

5. Fill in the IP address , Gateway , Network prefix length , and DNS fields.

6. Tap Save in the upper right corner to apply your changes.

How to set a static IP address on Linux

The process for Linux is a little more involved. Bear in mind that while you could do it by running a ip adr command, that change would be reversed with every reboot. To set up the static IP permanently, follow these steps:

  • Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open the terminal on your Linux desktop.
  • Use the command ip addr or ifconfig to identify your network interface.
  • Navigate to Netplan Configuration. Files are typically located in /etc/netplan/. Use ls /etc/netplan/ to list the configuration files.
  • Use a text editor like nano or vim to edit the YAML configuration file found in the previous step.
  • Modify the file to include your static IP settings under the appropriate network interface.
  • Save the file and apply the changes by running sudo netplan apply .

How to set a static IP address on Raspberry Pi

Like with Linux, the process with Raspberry Pi is more involved than with other platforms. To configure the static IP, follow these steps:

  • Access the terminal directly or via SSH if you’re remotely connected to your Raspberry Pi.
  • Type sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf to edit the DHCP client configuration file with nano editor. You can replace nano with your preferred text editor.
  • Scroll to the end of the file and add your static IP configuration.
  • Press Ctrl + O to save the changes, then Ctrl + X to exit nano.
  • To apply the changes, restart the DHCP client daemon with sudo service dhcpcd restart.

The differences between static and dynamic IP addresses

Static and dynamic IP addresses serve the fundamental role of identifying devices on a network, yet they differ in management, purpose, and application. Here’s a comparison:

Does ExpressVPN offer static or dynamic IPs?

ExpressVPN provides dynamic IPs and doesn’t offer static IPs at the moment. 

This means every time you connect to ExpressVPN, you are given a different IP address. (That said, it is possible to repeatedly get the same IP if you happen to connect to the same server multiple times.) The IP you are given should indicate to websites and apps that you are located in the country of your choosing. Moreover, every IP is shared by numerous ExpressVPN users at the same time, increasing your anonymity even more.

Configure DNS Virtual Service on NSX Advanced Load Balancer in Oracle Cloud VMware Solution SDDC

Introduction

In this series, we have covered the deployment and configuration of NSX Advanced Load Balancer (formerly known as Avi Networks) controllers.

This is the third tutorial which describes how to configure Domain Name System (DNS) virtual service on VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (NSX ALB) controller hosted on an Oracle Cloud VMware Solution Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC).

RackWare RMM BYOL

Configure DNS virtual service on VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (Avi) controller hosted in Oracle Cloud VMware Solution SDDC. Administrators will be able to:

Define the IP address range.

Create a custom DNS application profile.

Deploy DNS virtual service and configure it to host DNS records for the upcoming websites or applications hosted via NSX ALB.

Prerequisites

  • NSX ALB (Avi) controller has been deployed and configured on the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution SDDC, see Tutorial 1: Deploy VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer on Oracle Cloud VMware Solution SDDC and Tutorial 2: Configure VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer on Oracle Cloud VMware Solution .

Task 1: Define IP Range on the NSX-T Cloud Connector Network Profile

After adding NSX-T Cloud connector on Oracle Cloud VMware Solution SDDC, we need to define the network IP ranges that will be assigned to Service Engines (SE) and virtual services. To define the IP range, follow these steps:

Log in to the NSX ALB (Avi) controller portal, under Infrastructure tab, expand Cloud Resources , click Networks , and then select OCVS NSX-T Cloud connector from the drop-down menu.

RackWare RMM BYOL

We should see the networks that we select during the NSX-T Cloud connector wizard. The avi-mgmt overlay segment will provide management IP addresses to the NSX ALB (Avi) Service Engine. We will carve out a portion of IP address from this range that will be used by Service Engines.

Click Edit for the avi-mgmt network and enter IP Address Management information.

  • Enable DHCP: Deselect enable DHCP.
  • Enable IPv6 Auto Configuration: Deselect enable IPv6 auto configuration.
  • Routing Context: global .

RackWare RMM BYOL

In the Subnets section, click Add and enter the following information.

  • Subnet Prefix: Enter the CIDR for the avi-mgmt overlay segment.
  • Deselect the Use Static IP Address for VIPs and SE .

In Static IP Ranges , click Add and enter the IP Address Range for the virtual service virtual IP (VIP), IP address range used for Service Engine (SE) vNIC, and then save the configuration.

RackWare RMM BYOL

Click Save to save the configuration again in the Edit Network Settings window.

RackWare RMM BYOL

We also need to define IP address range for the avi-vs segment as it is required by Service Engines to connect to the backend servers. Click Edit link for the avi-vs overlay segment and enter IP Address Management information.

  • Routing Context: Tier-1 .

RackWare RMM BYOL

  • Subnet Prefix: Enter the CIDR for the avi-vs overlay segment.

In Static IP Ranges , click Add and enter the IP Address Range for the virtual service virtual IP (VIP) and IP address range use for Service Engine (SE) vNIC, and then save the configuration.

RackWare RMM BYOL

Click Save to save the configuration again in the Edit Network Settings page.

RackWare RMM BYOL

The configuration is shown in the following image.

RackWare RMM BYOL

Task 2: Add a Default Route on the Tier-1 Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)

We need to define static route for the virtual service overlay segment.

Under the Infrastructure tab, click Cloud Resources and VRF Context .

Click on the Select Cloud drop-down list and select OCVS NSX-T as Cloud connector.

RackWare RMM BYOL

Click Edit to edit the Tier-1 VRF context. Under Static Route , click Add .

Enter the following information and click Save .

  • Gateway Subnet: Default route 0.0.0.0/0 .
  • Next Hop: Pointing it to the avi-vs default gateway which is 172.28.11.1 .

RackWare RMM BYOL

Task 3: Deploy a DNS Virtual Service

NSX ALB has an inbuilt DNS server functionality to offer dynamic name resolution for the virtual services that are created. In most cases, we define NSX ALB as an authoritative DNS server. We can create a DNS delegation and forwarder from the corporate networks and point the domain demoocvs.xyz to DNS virtual service for name resolution. To deploy DNS virtual service, follow these steps:

Log in to the NSX ALB (Avi) controller portal, navigate to Applications , Virtual Services , Create Virtual Service and click Advanced Setup .

RackWare RMM BYOL

In the Select Cloud window, select OCVS NSX-T and click Next .

RackWare RMM BYOL

In the VRF Context , select Tier-1 .

RackWare RMM BYOL

Enter the Virtual Service Name and select the Application Profile as System-DNS .

RackWare RMM BYOL

Click on the VS VIP drop-down list, Create VS VIP and select Tier1 Logical Router as Tier-1 .

In the VIP window, click Add . Keep the default options and enter avi-vs as VIP Address Allocation Network , specify the associated CIDR block as IPv4 Subnet , and then click Save .

RackWare RMM BYOL

In the DNS section, click Add , keep the default configuration, and then click Save .

RackWare RMM BYOL

We are not adding any backend pool. Click Next and keep the default options under the Policies section.

In the Analytics section, update non-significant log duration to 0 to keep all the non-significant logs and click Next to finish the wizard.

RackWare RMM BYOL

NSX ALB (Avi) controller will initiate deployment of the SE on Oracle Cloud VMware Solution vCenter. It will take few minutes and the DNS virtual service will change to green or available state.

RackWare RMM BYOL

NSX ALB (Avi) would have deployed two Service Engines as per the default configuration and the SE virtual machines (VM’s) will get an IP from the range we defined in the above step.

RackWare RMM BYOL

Task 4: Configure a DNS Virtual Service to host DNS Records

We have deployed the base DNS service which will host DNS records for all upcoming applications or websites that we host via NSX ALB.

Log in to the NSX ALB (Avi) controller portal, navigate to Administration , System Settings and click Edit .

In the DNS Service section, click Add . In the Virtual Service drop-down list, select the DNS virtual service that we deployed in Task 3 and click Save .

RackWare RMM BYOL

To configure HTTP virtual service on NSX Advanced Load Balancer in Oracle Cloud VMware Solution SDDC for internal users, see Tutorial 4: Configure HTTP Virtual Service on NSX Advanced Load Balancer in OCVS SDDC for Internal Users .

How to add two domains to the same server with fixed IP

Hello friends, how are you? I have a server with a fixed IP where I have two websites hosted on the same machine running XAMPP with Apache2.4.

The domain fdisistemas.com.br I managed to register the ssl

follow configuration of the httpd-ssl.conf file

This sometimes works perfectly, but when I try to do the same procedure on another Sunday, it's on the same machine.

This error message comes from Chrome ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR and the website does not open.

The commands run to generate the certificate of

fdisistemas.com.br

.\certbot.exe certonly --standalone -d fdisistemas.com.br

that worked

.\certbot.exe certonly --standalone -d menuvirtual.net.br

it's going wrong.

I've tried to do this too

.\certbot.exe certonly --standalone -d fdisistemas.com.br -d menuvirtual.net.br

and using the same certificate for both was not the case.

I will send an image of my infrastructure

image

an important piece of information that I just noticed if I reverse the order of the VirtualHost of fdisistemas.com.br and put menuvirtual.net.br first

The host menuvirtual.net.br starts to work however

https://menuvirtual.net.br/ without being able to use www.

example https://www.menuvirtual.net.br/ (without ssl)

https://menuvirtual.net.br/ (with ssl).

fdisistemas.com.br now gives an error ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

:slight_smile:

I've moved your topic to "HELP" as that is more appropriate than "CLIENT DEV".

The problem is likely within your Apache config. Let's start to unravel that (messy situation) with the output os: sudo apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS

hmm... That seems correct.

What is the pfSense doing with the port 443 connections?

just redirecting to machine with xampp server.

Cerbot ended Windows support this month. You will want to move to another ACME client.

Since you are using Apache, you may want to use mod_md .

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_md.html

image

Can you give me a tip on how to configure it? I tried everything here to activate this module. I saw that with this feature it is not necessary to have the .pem certificate entered in virtualhost, but in modules in my httpd.conf there is not even this mod_md line to uncomment.

What does this show?

Should see something like (at least that's what I see on Ubuntu):

I can tell you what to do on Apache on Debian in my sleep, but I haven't run Apache on Windows since XP still had new car smell, and even then it was probably only the one time just to say that I had done it. I have always run Apache on Linux distributions.

You might take a look at the section that mentions LoadModule in the following Apache documentation for Windows.

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/platform/windows.html

If you find that you do not have mod_md available, you can learn how to get a copy for Windows here:

Loaded Modules: core_module (static) win32_module (static) mpm_winnt_module (static) http_module (static) so_module (static) access_compat_module (shared) actions_module (shared) alias_module (shared) allowmethods_module (shared) asis_module (shared) auth_basic_module (shared) authn_core_module (shared) authn_file_module (shared) authz_core_module (shared) authz_groupfile_module (shared) authz_host_module (shared) authz_user_module (shared) autoindex_module (shared) cgi_module (shared) dav_lock_module (shared) dir_module (shared) env_module (shared) headers_module (shared) include_module (shared) info_module (shared) isapi_module (shared) log_config_module (shared) cache_disk_module (shared) macro_module (shared) mime_module (shared) negotiation_module (shared) proxy_module (shared) proxy_ajp_module (shared) request_module (shared) rewrite_module (shared) setenvif_module (shared) socache_shmcb_module (shared) ssl_module (shared) status_module (shared) version_module (shared) watchdog_module (shared) php5_module (shared)

I don't see md module loaded. See if you can load it using loadmodule or try asking on Apache friends forum.

https://community.apachefriends.org/f/

This might work. Just guessing (I don't have Apache on Windows)

Oh, and maybe visit ApacheLounge forum too https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=35959
