Configuring FCOS to Use a Static IP Address

As with any custom configuration on FCOS, you can write specific files in the storage node of the Ignition file.

The following snippet shows how to assign a static configuration to enp1s0:

FCOS uses predictable interface names by default. Please take care to use the correct interface name for your hardware.

  • static IP: 192.0.2.10/24

  • gateway: 192.0.2.1

  • DNS: 192.168.124.1;1.1.1.1;8.8.8.8

  • DNS search domain: redhat.com

Example assignment of static IP address

  files:
    - path: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/enp1s0.nmconnection

          [connection]
          type=ethernet
          id='Custom interface'
          interface-name=enp1s0

          [ethernet]
          mac-address=<insert MAC address>

          [ipv4]
          method=manual
          addresses=192.0.2.10/24
          gateway=192.0.2.1
