If you’re installing an Ubuntu server, and you need set to it a static IP address and some nameservers, you can use the power of bash for it :). To set a static address for an interface, eth0 for instance, you can do this:
[bash]sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces[/bash]
And put in this file the lines as below:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.255 dns-search someuri.com dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 |
Pay attention for two last lines, those lines will be up your interface using those DNS nameservers. With it you don’t need to set a nameservers on /etc/resolv.conf, once on Ubuntu’s boot you erase all your modifications on it.
Comparing to CentOS, the boot process doesn’t replace dns-nameservers of /etc/resolv.conf, particularly I like it, I don’t see no reasons to Ubuntu clean this file.
