NMCLI Set Static IP Address

Determine the interface to be updated

In most systems, you will have 1 or more network cards that can be used to pass traffic. To find out which cards you have available, run the following command:

ifconfig

This will list out the cards seen by your system.

Update your configuration

We will issue the following commands to set the ip address, gateway, and dns for our chosen network card:

sudo nmcli con mod <networkcard> ipv4.address 192.168.10.20/24

sudo nmcli con <networkcard> ipv4.gateway 192.168.10.1

sudo nmcli con mod <networkcard> ipv4.dns "1.1.1.1"

sudo nmcli con mod <networkcard> ipv4.method manual

Once completed, we will enable the settings with the following:

nmcli con up <networkcard>
