Set Static IP
Hello, I want my CentOS 6.5 computer to have a static IP. Currently I get the IP I want because I have my router assign it on the basis of mac address. I placed the following file as:
/etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/eth0
DEVICE=”eth0″
BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR :1F:D0:9E:AE:67
ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=yes NETMASK%5.255.255.0
IPADDR2.168.0.99
GATEWAY2.168.0.1
NM_CONTROLLED=no
I also disabled Network Manager with chkconfig.
It didn’t work. When I rebooted I had no IP address for eth0. Should I
leave all the other scripts in /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts unchanged?
Suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you, Joe

Not sure if the problem, but BOOTPROTO=static should be BOOTPROTO=none. Eric Falbe
I’ve always known the config file to be /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Sample:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx NETMASK%5.255.255.xxx DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6INIT=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes NAME=”System eth0″
HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
IP addresses changed to protect the guilty :)
Hopes this helps…

chkconfig network on; service network start
If your not using NetworkManager then you will need the vanilla network service running.

as stated before, the file name should be ifcfg-eth0.
…and the directory network-scripts.
