[Voyage-linux] Setting Static IP & DNS Server

[Robert Rawlins - Think Blue]

Hello Guys,

 

I've got a requirement on a couple of my systems to configure static IP and
DNS settings as they're being placed into a network environment which
doesn't support DHCP so it will be unable to lease its own details.

 

This is something I've not done before with Linux, at least, not
successfully :-D so thought I'd ask you guys your opinions on the best way
to handle it. What I can tell you at the moment is that if I use the
following settings on my windows notebook then I'm able to connect to the
network and internet no trouble at all, so I'm guessing it's simply a case
of setting these same details on my voyage system.

 

IP:                                           10.111.108.2

Subnet:                                                255.255.255.0

Gateway:                            10.111.108.1

 

Primary DNS Server:       10.50.10.10

Secondary DNS Server: 10.50.10.11

 

I'll need some nice simple Simon-Says step by steps for doing this otherwise
I'm bound to get lost when trying to set it up. I do have some limited
experience of modifying my /etc/network/interfaces file but certainly
wouldn't say I really know what I'm doing.

 

Thanks chaps, I look forward to hearing your advice.

 

Rob
