<code> | <code> | ||
> nano /etc/network/interfaces | > nano /etc/network/interfaces | ||
+ | # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system | ||
+ | # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). | ||
+ | |||
+ | # The loopback network interface | ||
+ | auto lo | ||
+ | iface lo inet loopback | ||
+ | |||
+ | # The primary network interface | ||
+ | allow-hotplug eth0 | ||
+ | iface eth0 inet dhcp | ||
+ | |||

+ | broadcast 172.20.20.255 | ||
+ | network 172.20.20.0 | ||
</code> | </code> | ||
+ | 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 | ||
+ | 1: 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 | ||
+ | 2: 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 | ||

+ | 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 | ||
+ | |||
+ | 127.0.0.1 localhost | ||
+ | 127.0.1.1 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> | ||
