Configuring static IP in Fedora

If all you have is a CLI, then you might find this to be of benefit. Otherwise you could just use the Network Device Control GUI.

Here are the steps:

1. Execute ifconfig and find out your ethernet configuration name (e.g. eth0)
2. Go to /etc/sysconfig/network-script
3. edit ifcfg-eth0 (depends on your ethernet)
4. Update the file as follow (set the IPADDR, BROADCAST according to your desired configuration)
   
   
5. Restart the network service
   service network restart
   

Here's a brief explanation on the configuration:

• BOOTPROTO : telling the network that we're configuring it as static ip
• ONBOOT : the configuration will be set at boot time
• BROADCAST : your gateway
• NETMASK : your netmask
