Netplan: Set static IP address

In order to set a static IP address to an interface using Netplan, we have to edit the desired Netplan yaml file.

Here is an example for configuring the interface eth0 with a static IP address.

network:
	version: 2
	renderer: networkd
	ethernets:
		eth0:
			dhcp4: false
			dhcp6: false
			addresses:
				- 192.168.1.100/24
			routes:
				- to: default
				  via: 192.168.1.1
			nameservers:
				addresses: [1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8]

Here we're setting the IP 192.168.1.100 as the static IP, 192.168.1.1 as the gateway, 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 as the DNS servers.

To apply the changes, we should run the command:

netplan apply
