Tried to use a static IP on my new server install but it just won't work. I get the generic "temporary failure in name resolution" error from ping. ip command shows the interface giving "no carrier" but it's plugged directly into the router. I manually assigned an IP to the port's MAC in the router firmware. I am at a bit of a loss, but I am trying and have always tried to use the simplest tools possible. So would prefer to understand what I'm doing wrong rather than install more software with real interfaces 🙂
- /etc/resolv.conf is a link to the standard stub resolver
/etc/systemd/network/wired1.network:
[Match]
Name=enp69s0f0
[Network]
Address=192.168.50.3
Gateway=192.168.50.1
DNS=127.0.0.1
Gateway is set to the router's address.
