Setting static IP

I am trying to set my Beaglebone Black to a static IP address.

I edited /etc/network/interfaces as follows (leaving out some comments):

The loopback network interface

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

The primary network interface

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.169.211
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.169.1

Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)

Used by: /opt/scripts/boot/autoconfigure_usb0.sh

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

Unfortunately it seem like the file is ignored and some other ip address is obtained, ostensibly by dhcp.

I am running Debian 8.3 (Linux beaglebone 4.1.15-ti-rt-r43). Any idea how to fix this?

because connman is installed.

try this one : sudo apt-get remove connman --purge

that will remove connman, but you need to reboot after your beagle. or you can keep it and configure your ip with connman.

Thank you, it worked :slight_smile: I removed connman and can now set a static IP as I am used to. What is the advantage of using connman? The language on their website is a bit vague and lofty …

fast bootup with auto (dhcp) over eth0 (cable connected/not connected)
situations.

wlan0, easier wifi configuration.
