Static IP Assignment

To set a machine to have a static IP address in your network, it is recommended to configure this on your router. Here's a general guide on how to do this:

Steps to Assign a Static IP via Router

1. Access Your Router's Admin Interface:

   • Open a web browser.

   • Enter the IP address of your router in the address bar. This is often something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.

   • Log in with your router's admin username and password. If you haven't changed these, they might still be the default values (check your router's manual for these).

2. Locate the DHCP Settings:

   • Once logged in, look for a section called "DHCP" or "LAN settings". This might be under an "Advanced" settings menu.

3. Assign a Static IP Address:

   • Find the section for "Address Reservation" or "Static DHCP" (terminology may vary by router).

   • Add a new reservation by entering the MAC address of your machine and the IP address you want to assign.

     • MAC Address: This is a unique identifier for your machine's network adapter. You can find it on your machine by running the command ifconfig a (Linux) and looking for the "ether" (MAC) address.

     • IP Address: Choose an IP address that is outside the range of addresses that your router's DHCP server assigns. This is usually specified in the router settings.

4. Save and Reboot:

   • Save the new settings.

   • Reboot your router to apply the changes.

Example for a TP-Link Router

1. Log in to the TP-Link Web Interface:

   • Open your browser and go to 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.

   • Enter your admin username and password.

2. Navigate to DHCP Settings:

   • Go to the "DHCP" tab.

   • Click on "Address Reservation".

3. Add a New Entry:

   • Click on "Add New".

   • Enter the MAC address of your device.

   • Enter the desired IP address.

   • Click "Save".

4. Reboot the Router:

   • Reboot the router if necessary to apply the new settings.
