Usually, the system automatically gets an IP address from DHCP, but sometimes you might need to set up a static IP address. A static IP address does not change even when the system restarts, which is very helpful for managing networks and running servers.

This guide will show you how to set up a static IP address on Ubuntu 24.04, whether you are using the desktop environment or managing servers using the command line.

Introduction

A static IP address is set up manually on a computer to make sure it stays the same, unlike dynamic IP addresses that a DHCP server assigns and can change.

Static IPs are commonly used for servers, network printers, and other devices that need to be consistently reachable over the network.
