+We only still need to restart the secondary interface to activate the newly set fixed IP address, then check that is correctly set:
+<code>
+> ifdown eth1 && ifup eth1
+ifdown: interface eth1 not configured
+> ip addr show
+: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
+    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
+    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
+    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
+       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
+    link/ether 08:00:27:55:21:b7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+    inet 10.0.7.61/24 brd 10.0.7.255 scope global eth0
+    inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fe55:21b7/64 scope link
+       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
+    link/ether 08:00:27:6e:8b:7d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

+    inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fe6e:8b7d/64 scope link
+       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+</code>
+The last block (3: eth1:) indicates that our secondary interface is well set with the targeted fixed IP address 172.20.20.2
+We're ready to move on...

+==== Change VM's Hostname ====
+To make things clear, and have an indication of the machine we're logged to whenever we ssh into it, we'll change the machine's hostname. This is done by editing 2 more file: // /etc/hosts // and // /etc/hostname //:
+In /etc/hosts, you'll only need to change the second line to make it look like the following:
+<code>
+> nano /etc/hosts
+.0.0.1       localhost
+.0.1.1       lamp-xd.virtual.net     lamp-xd
+# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
+::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
+ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
+ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
+</code>
+Then replace the content of /etc/hostname
+<code>
+> nano /etc/hostname
+lamp-xd
+</code>
+You'll need to restart the VM for those changes to take effect
+<code>
+> reboot
+</code>
