How to set Static IP on Raspberry Pi — Do it your self Hobby

How to set Static IP on Raspberry Pi 3. This is the latest 2017 tutorial about configuring static IP for Ethernet as well as Wifi interface on Raspberry Pi 3. You can choose from two methods in this tutorial in configuring a static IP for Ethernet and Wifi interface.
In this tutorial, I will set Ethernet IP as 192.168.2.200 and Wifi as 192.168.2.201
You can also watch the video tutorial

Let’s get started
Connect Raspberry Pi to the router using Ethernet cable and connect your computer on the same network.
First, we need to get some information about your network so run cmd

On Command prompt type ipconfig /all

From this image, my network is around 192.168.2.x
We need to take note of the default gateway and DNS servers
In this example we get:

Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1
DNS Servers: 192.168.2.1

On your computer, Open Putty and type in the address: rasberrypi.local and click open

Network information gathering

Once you have logged in, check your Raspberry pi network. Type this command:

ifconfig

The Raspberry Pi is on the same network 192.168.2.x
Let’s proceed to configure static IP Address. You can choose from the two method on doing that

Method 1: DHCPCD

Edit Network interface

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Let it use the default configuration

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Edit the WPA Supplicant

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Paste this:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
    ssid="Your SSID Here"
    proto=RSN
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    pairwise=CCMP TKIP
    group=CCMP TKIP
    psk="YourPresharedKeyHere"
}

Change the ssid with your wifi name and psk will be your wifi password. Save and exit.
Edit DHCPCD

sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

Enter this code below

interface eth0
     static ip_address=192.168.2.200/24
     static routers=192.168.2.1
     static domain_name_servers=192.168.2.1
interface wlan0
     static ip_address=192.168.2.201/24
     static routers=192.168.2.1
     static domain_name_servers=192.168.2.1

Ensure both service are enabled

sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd
sudo systemctl enable networking

Reboot the system

sudo reboot

sudo apt-get update

Method 2: NETWORK INTERFACE

Edit network interfaces

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Paste this code:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.2.200
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.2.1
    dns-nameservers 192.168.2.1
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
    address 192.168.2.201
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.2.1
    dns-nameservers 192.168.2.1
    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Edit the WPA Supplicant

sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Paste this:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
    ssid="Your SSID Here"
    proto=RSN
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    pairwise=CCMP TKIP
    group=CCMP TKIP
    psk="YourPresharedKeyHere"
}

Change the ssid with your wifi name and psk will be your wifi password. Save and exit.
Check DHCPCD

sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

You can leave your configuration, we will disable the service anyway
Disable DHCPCD

sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd

Only Networking will be used

sudo systemctl enable networking

Reboot the system

sudo reboot

sudo apt-get update
