[SOLVED] Static IP wired connection doesn't work with netctl

I've tried to replace netcfg with netctl, but my new profile doesn't work.

My old netcfg profile, which still works, is:

CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='A basic static ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='enp2s0'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.0.200'
#ROUTES=('192.168.0.0/24 via 192.168.1.2')
GATEWAY='192.168.0.1'
DNS=('192.168.0.1')

## For IPv6 autoconfiguration
#IP6=stateless

## For IPv6 static address configuration
#IP6='static'
#ADDR6=('1234:5678:9abc:def::1/64' '1234:3456::123/96')
#ROUTES6=('abcd::1234')
#GATEWAY6='1234:0:123::abcd'

The netctl profile I made is:

Description='A basic static ethernet connection'
Interface=enp2s0
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address='192.168.1.200'
#Routes=('192.168.0.0/24 via 192.168.1.2')
Gateway='192.168.0.1'
DNS=('192.168.0.1')

## For IPv6 autoconfiguration
#IP6=stateless

## For IPv6 static address configuration
#IP6=static
#Address6=('1234:5678:9abc:def::1/64' '1234:3456::123/96')
#Routes6=('abcd::1234')
#Gateway6='1234:0:123::abcd'

Which gives me the following errors:

netctl@ethernet\x2dstatic.service - Networking for netctl profile ethernet-static
          Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netctl@.service; static)
          Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2013-04-10 20:11:44 CEST; 53s ago

Apr 10 20:11:44 Duat systemd[1]: Unit netctl@ethernet\x2dstatic.service entered failed state

The strange thing is, if I copy the ethernet-dhcp example, it works immediately. If I remove netctl and reinstall netcfg, my old profile also works immediately. One odd thing I've noticed is that all dashes (-) in my profile filename are replaced by \x2d by netctl.

Any help is appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED] Static IP wired connection doesn't work with netctl

I ran into the same problem. My solution was to add /24 to the address as seen in the examples. The relevant part of the netctl.profile manpage is:

Address=() [requires IP=static]
           An array of IP addresses suffixed with ‘/<netmask>’. Leaving out brackets for arrays
           consisting of a single element is accepted in the Bash syntax.

Re: [SOLVED] Static IP wired connection doesn't work with netctl

Hi
i switched to netctl too but replacing with netcfg profile don't work. I think my solution is with ip adress.

it solved smile i insert Address='192.168.178.78/24' netmask/24, now bootup is faster then netcfg little bit smile

regards from Germany

Re: [SOLVED] Static IP wired connection doesn't work with netctl

Netctl's ethernet-static isn't connecting to internet for me. Is there anything wrong with following config?

cat ethstatic
Description='A basic static ethernet connection'
Interface=eth0
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address=('192.168.0.86/24')
#Routes=('192.168.0.0/24 via 192.168.1.2')
Gateway='192.168.0.1'
DNS=('8.8.8.8' '8.8.4.4')

## For IPv6 autoconfiguration
#IP6=stateless

## For IPv6 static address configuration
#IP6=static
#Address6=('1234:5678:9abc:def::1/64' '1234:3456::123/96')
#Routes6=('abcd::1234')
#Gateway6='1234:0:123::abcd'

netctl start ethstatic
Interface is up but can't connect to internet.

systemctl enable netctl-ipluged@ethstatic.service
Message on boot

ethernet-dhcp profile works fine. Static is broadcasting desired ip but won't connect to internet unless I do sudo dhcpd

This is on Raspberry Pi. I know this is not arm forum but netctl is new and I just wanted to see if my config is fine.

In my case, after remove wicd in systemctl, my static network works.

solution:

# systemctl disable dhcpcd


*netctl can't load profile if interface its already configured

Re: [SOLVED] Static IP wired connection doesn't work with netctl

I am not able to add a static ip adress
https://i.ibb.co/khT2fG3/Capture.png

I followed the netctl Tutorial in the nctl-wikipost
apparently i manage to add an ip adress to the interface but shouldnt the interface be set up?
And how do i fix the error of the netctl@enp0s3 service?
