Static ip Freebsd 10 (ZFSguru)

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
