Small tutorial about the static ip in Freebsd (10)
My internal network details are as follow:
Address: 192.168.0.103 netmask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.0.1 DNS1: 192.168.0.122 domain: domain.com (changed for privacy reasons) *** I use vmxnet 3 adapter from ESXi 5.* ***
We’re going to work in the standard config files
/etc/rc.conf (networking)
/etc/resolv.conf (DNS)
Step 1:
ee is the default editor in freebsd.
ee /etc/rc.conf
Standard the file has the following settings:
hostname = zfsguru.bsd ifconfig_default=DHCP #ifconfig_em0=inet 10.0.0.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 #defaultrouter = 10.0.0.1
Change those to: (please use your own network settings)
hostname = aristoteles.domain.com #ifconfig_default=DHCP #ifconfig_em0=inet 10.0.0.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_vmx0=inet 192.168.0.103 netmask 255.255.255.0 defaultrouter=192.168.0.1
Step 2: editing resolv.conf
ee /etc/resolv.conf
#generated by resolvconf search domain.com nameserver 192.168.0.122
Step 3: restart networking and routing
/etc/rc.d/netif restart /etc/rc.d/routing stop /etc/rc.d/routing start
Step 4: Results
