Hi,

I’m trying to access my beagleboneblack rev.C board (kernel 4.9 and debian 9.3) using ethernet communication.

Following is the configuration I’ve made in /etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.7.2
netmask 255.255.255.252
network 192.168.7.0
gateway 192.168.7.1

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 169.254.55.247
netmask 255.255.0.0
gateway 169.254.55.254
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
dns-nameservers 8.8.4.4

But when I access using putty with address 169.254.55.247, beaglebone is not able to communicate with pc.

What could be the reason?

Ethernet addresses is set with conman not set in /etc/network/interfaces
