How to Configure Static IP Address on CentOS Stream 10

To configure a static IP address on CentOS Stream 10, follow these simple steps.

Step 1 : Run the following command to display the available network interfaces and their UUIDs:

nmcli con show

Step 2 : Assign a static IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.30/24) to your interface using the following command:

sudo nmcli con modify enp0s3 ipv4.addresses 192.168.1.30/24

Replace <enp0s3> with the appropriate name from Step 1.

Step 3 : Set the default gateway using this command:

sudo nmcli con modify enp0s3 ipv4.gateway 192.168.1.1

Replace 192.168.1.1 with your network's gateway IP.

Step 4 : Specify the DNS server for your connection. For example, to use Google's DNS:

sudo nmcli con modify enp0s3 ipv4.dns 8.8.8.8

Step 5 : Ensure the IP configuration method is set to manual:

sudo nmcli con modify enp0s3 ipv4.method manual

Step 6 : Apply the changes by restarting the network connection:

sudo nmcli connection down enp0s3 && sudo nmcli connection up enp0s3

Step 7 : Check the current IP settings to confirm the configuration:

ip addr show

Congratulations! You have successfully configured a static IP address on CentOS Stream 10.
