Nice overview.

You can also run dhclient (once off) to automatically update the /etc/resolv.conf file.

Hi,

I have configured static IP address (192.168.1.23). But everytime i boot up, its picking another IP address. (192.168.1.100).

But after the boot up, if i give 'service network restart' it gets changed to my static IP. If the network is not restarted, its with its own (192.168.1.100). If i check the ifcfg-eth0 file, i see the IP which i have given.

How to fix it?

Regards,
Clement

Check below link if someone still have issues with static ip on centos 6.
https://gist.github.com/keshara/2f50045430ab193006af

commented Mar 23, 2015

Based on a Redhat network config, I simply added the DNS by adding the following extra lines to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. Then after restarting the network I already had the correct values in /etc/resolv.conf.

commented Mar 23, 2015

Thank you!

commented Apr 16, 2015

Hey declum/unikhil,

I had the same issue but managed to resolve it. The service NetworkManager appears to override any configurations made in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. A couple of remedies:

  1. Add the line NM_CONTROLLED=no to the config file.. or

  2. Disable network manager by

systemctl stop NetworkManager.servicesystemctl disable NetworkManager.service

Thanks.

commented Apr 28, 2016

I must say when I started configuring static IP's on Cent OS 7 via CLI it was pretty confusing, but then i understood it - it became much easier. Without need to disable Network Manager, just type this command “nmtui” to open Network manager and edit any connection. This is super easy and no VI , NANO are needed. Plus can reset adapter too. Hope this will help others as well. Regards!

Thanks, It's helpful to me.

How about /etc/hosts file which has reference to server along with alias?

commented Aug 8, 2016

@Azhung I had the same issue but fixed it by adding the line GATEWAY=10.0.1.1 (Replacing with your correct gateway, of course) to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

commented Aug 28, 2016

Can't figure it out. Seems to have a problem setting the IP. I'm trying to set it to 192.168.1.223

For IP ranges you can also use my scirpt: https://github.com/jonsbun/add-ips-centos

commented Feb 28, 2018

@Arinerron: set up your default gateway, no gateway, your systems only knows your local network (192.168.1.x/y). Furthermore you should use ip add sh, instead of ifconfig nowadays.

commented Mar 30, 2018

OMG THANK YOU! Spent half a day trying to figure out how to create a static IP on CentOS. this took me 5 mins to do.

commented Apr 15, 2018

Make sure to refer to /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt (search for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg) - that's the only built-in documentation for this mechanism.

Manual

Okay so dumb question that I probably don't need to worry about, is there a difference when you do ONBOOT=yes versus ONBOOT='yes' with quotes? I get using quotes if there's a space in it like your example of NAME='System eth0' but does it matter for one word entries like yes or no?

commented Jun 13, 2018

I have done all the things as guided but still internet is not working, on using ping command it says unknown hosts: . I did exactly same as asked.please do help me.i tried almost everything.

I have created a CentOS server in a virtual machine and now I would like to know how to install programs from scratch, without using yum or rpm. Every search I've tried on how to go about finding each individual program and what commands I would use to install them has returned very useful information on why using yum would be so much better and how to install yum if I don't have it.

So basically all I want to know are how to find the download links to individual programs,how to download them (since I'm using only text I'm unfamiliar with this whole process), and what commands I need to use to install them once I have them.

Thanks guys!

When in rome, man. They're telling you to do it that way because CentOS really prefers rpm-based packages. They're easier to manage, upgrade, uninstall, etc.

However since this is a learning exercise, ignore all of that.

Each piece of software is unique, and you need to read the installation instructions that come with the source code for the project. A good chunk of software out there uses a system called 'automake' whose commands are usually very predictable. The experience is usually something like this:

  1. Download the source code from a website (often comes are a .tar.gz or .zip) You can use wget to download files from websites.
  2. Extract the source code locally (using tar or unzip)
  3. Set some compiler variables (don't do this unless you know what you're doing -- the defaults are usually sufficient, esp. for a learning exercise). e.g. export CFLAGS='-O2 -pipe'
  4. Run the configure script with --help to determine what kinds of options are configurable. ./configure --help
  5. Run configure with the options you want: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-option1 --with-library=/path/to/lib --without-cowbell
  6. This will set up the project to be compiled. Now you need to run make. Just type make
  7. Once everything has compiled (assuming there are no compile errors) run make install. You have to run this command as root usually.
  8. Tada. The package has been installed from source.

There are of course other compile systems out there (cmake for example) but I won't cover all of them. Things will break for you. Google is your friend when this happens. Usually it's due to (a) shitty source code, or (b) missing / out of date libraries on your system.

Also keep in mind that just because a package compiles doesn't mean it will work out of the box for you. Most packages need a certain amount of configuration to actually run properly, so be sure to read any documentation available to you.

EDIT

Also, if you REALLY want the FULL experience, there's always linux from scratch which can, and will teach you everything you were afraid to ask about compiling things from source.

Compiling archive like tar.bz2. Use ./configure , make and after sudo make install.
