I have a Beaglebone Black (running on Debian) which I’m connecting to my laptop (running on Arch Linux) through usb. The laptop is able to read Beaglebone as a storage device. However, I am unable to connect to Beaglebone through the browser/ssh by accessing the following ip - 192.168.7.2.
ifconfig -a gives the following output-
enp0s20u2: flags=4098<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

enp0s20u2 is the interface of Beaglebone and has no ip allotted to it (as per the documentation, its ip should be 192.168.7.2) and thus I am unable to ssh or browse into it.
Kindly help.
