The Basics of Pulling an IP Address: What You Need to Know

When it comes to understanding the internet, knowing how to pull an IP address is a fundamental skill. An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique identifier that is assigned to each device connected to the internet. It is used to identify and locate a device on the network, enabling communication between two or more devices. In this article, we will discuss the basics of pulling an IP address, including what it is, why it’s important, and how to do it.

What is an IP Address?

An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It uniquely identifies each device on the network and allows data packets to be routed from one device to another. An IP address consists of four numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.1.1.

Why is Pulling an IP Address Important?

Pulling an IP address can be useful in many situations. For example, if you are troubleshooting a network issue or trying to track down malicious activity on your network, you may need to pull an IP address in order to identify the source of the problem or determine which device is responsible for the malicious activity. Additionally, if you are trying to access a website or service that requires authentication, you may need to pull your own IP address in order to gain access.

How Do You Pull an IP Address?

Pulling an IP address can be done in several ways depending on your operating system and what type of information you need. On Windows systems, you can use the ipconfig command in Command Prompt or PowerShell; on Mac systems, you can use the ifconfig command in Terminal; and on Linux systems, you can use the ip command in Terminal. Additionally, there are websites that allow you to look up your public IP address without having to run any commands or install any software.

In conclusion, knowing how to pull an IP address is essential for understanding how networks work and troubleshooting any issues that may arise with them. With this knowledge in hand, you’ll be able to identify devices on your network and access services that require authentication with ease.

How to configure a static IP address in CentOS 7

Share with Your Friends

Your email has been sent

This short tutorial walks you through the process of changing a CentOS ethernet interface from DHCP to static--but be prepared to type.

You may have set up a CentOS server and, in the process, accidentally set it up with DHCP. If your CentOS server uses a GUI, changing that IP address from dynamic to static is very simple. But what if your server is a text-only machine? What do you do then? Fortunately, it’s not all that hard to configure that GUI-less server with a static IP address–you just have to know where it’s configured and know the syntax of the configuration. Of course, by nature of what we’re working on this is all done manually, so be prepared to type.

I’ll be working on CentOS 7 . I’ll assume you already have the operating system installed and working properly, have access to the machine, and have an administrative account. With that out of the way, let’s set up that static IP address.

Find your interface

The first thing we must do is find out the name of our ethernet interface. A static IP address cannot be configured without this name. To do this, log into your server and issue the command ip a . The output of this command ( Figure A ) will include the name of the interface.

As you can see, from my output, the name of my interface is enp0s3. Now that we know the name of our interface, we can configure the static address.

Configuring the address

Within the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ you should find the file ifcfg-INTERFACENAME (Where INTERFACENAME is the name of your interface). In my instance, the file is ifcfg-enp0s3. It is important that you configure that file, and not the ifcfg-eth file. Open the correct file for editing with the command sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3 . We need to modify that file in order to not only change the protocol from dhcp to static, but to add the specific IP address. So when you open up that file, you’ll want to change:

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

BOOTPROTO=static

Now you’ll need to add the entries to set not only the IP address, but the netmask, gateway, and DNS addresses. At the bottom of that file, add the following:

IPADDR=192.168.1.200 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 DNS1=1.0.0.1 DNS2=1.1.1.1 DNS3=8.8.4.4

NOTE: All fields in bold, you will edit to reflect your networking needs. If you have fewer or more DNS entries, add or remove them as needed.

Save and close that file. In order to make the changes take effect, issue the command sudo systemctl restart network. Once the networking system has restarted, issue the command ip a to see that your IP address has changed to reflect your configuration.

And that’s all there is to setting a static IP address on CentOS. That wasn’t so hard, now was it? Don’t think this technique is limited only to GUI-less CentOS servers. You can use the same method to set a static IP address on a CentOS server with a GUI as well.

Enjoy having more control over your CentOS network interfaces.

CentOS / RHEL 7 : Configuring static IP adress using network interface configuration files

There are various ways you can configure an IP address in RHEL 7. The posts discusses the use of network interface configuration files to configure the IP address. Each physical network device has an associated network interface configuration file. Network interface configuration files are located in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory.

1. Use the ip addr command to display your available network interfaces.

Note that you have 3 Ethernet interfaces (eth0, eth1) and the loopback interface (lo). If you interface names are somthing like eno16777736, refere this post to change the interface naming to eth0 and eth1.

2. cd into the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory which holds the network interface configuration files.

Here you would find the network configuration file for the eth1 interface i.e. ifcfg-eth1 . If not already present you can copy the interface configuration file of interface eth0.

3. We want to assign IP address 192.168.1.30 to the interface eth1. Edit the configuration file for the interface and change the highlighted parameters as show below :

4. Edit the /etc/hosts file to add the entry for the new IP address :

5. Restart the network services :

Using network interface control scripts to stop/start a specific network interface

The network interface control scripts i.e. ifup and ifdown . Use the ifdown command to stop the interface and eno16777736. Verify the status of the interface using “if addr” command (the ip address should have disappeared):

Use the ifup command to start the interface again :

In this article we will discuss How to Set Manual or static IP Address on CentOS,

There will come a moment in your career as a Linux system administrator when you will be tasked with the responsibility of configuring networking on your machine. On desktop computers, you are able to utilise dynamic IP addresses; but, in order to set up a server architecture, you will need to configure a static IP address (at least in most cases).

The following information on Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) will be used so that we may accomplish the objectives of this tutorial.

To configure static IP address, open the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Note : The filename ifcfg-eth may varies from CentOS to Redhat linux. In CentOS it is available named as ifcfg-eth0, whereas it will be available only as eth0. Also, the file name will be depend on your device name available on your Linux machines such as ens0 or so on.

DEVICE="eth0" HWADDR="00:08:a2:0a:ba:b8" BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes UUID="41171a6f-bce1-44de-8a6e-cf5e782f8bd6" IPV6INIT=yes TYPE=Ethernet NAME="eth0"

Now make changes like shown below, please do not forget to make changes according to your need

DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=00:16:3e:65:de:88 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes NM_CONTROLLED=no IPADDR= 192.168.1.10 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY= 192.168.1.1 DNS1=8.8.8.8 DNS2= 4.4. 4 4

Please note that, You only need to change the following points.

The rest of the entries should be left unchanged.

Next edit  resolve.conf to change or update the DNS nameserver

nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4

Once you have made your changes restart the networking manager service with:

or you can just down and up the network interface using the below command

Now to check the configured ip on your machine, run the below command

• manual ip on centos
• Set Manual or static IP Address
