[SOLVED] Static network configuration

vorlket · 2019-10-19 06:09:05

Hi How do I configure static network?

Back in 2008, the following worked:

ip link set eno1 up
systemctl start dhcpcd.service
cp /etc/netctl/examples/ethernet-static /etc/netctl/eno1

EDIT /etc/netctl/eno1:
Interface:=eno1
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address=(‘192.168.1.2/29’)
Gateway=('192.168.1.6')

netctl enable eno1
netctl start eno1
systemctl stop dhcpcd
systemctl disable dhcpcd

I can't find /etc/netctl.

Ftr, your memory is cheating on you here - this cannot have worked and will not today.

a) don't run multiple network managing services, netctl and dhcpcd will conflict - netctl will invoke dhcpcd as it sees fit (you did that after starting netctl, but there's no point in starting dhcpcd at all. Also don't bring the interface up, netctl won't like that)
b) dhcp and static IPs are pretty much mutually exclusive concepts
c) what do you mean "can't find"?

pacman -Qikk netctl

d) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … e_profiles

Ah I have to install netctl. How do you start network after fresh installation?

If you didn't install any further packages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … IP_address
You can also boot the live iso, arch-chroot into the installed system and supply yourself w/ some network managers from there.

Installed netctl and then configured following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … e_profiles. When netctl start eno1, it says "Job for netctl@eno1.service failed because the control process exited with error code". What's going on?

No idea, output for

systemctl status netctl@eno1

?

SkipNoCarrier=yes does the trick to connect to router but it doesn't connect to the internet.

ping www.example.com says "ping: www.example.com: Temporary failure in name resolution".
