===== Set Static IP Address =====

==== ifupdown2 ====

First install the ''ifupdown2'' package:
<code bash>sudo apt install ifupdown2</code>
It will generate the file ''/etc/network/interfaces'' if it doesn't exist.

Then edit ''/etc/network/interfaces'' and add the following:
<code bash>
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 172.16.1.20/24
        gateway 172.16.1.1 
        nameserver 172.16.1.1
</code>
Adjust the interface name, here ''eth0'', to your configuration.

Finally enable the interface by running:
<code bash>ifup eth0</code>
