How to change IP address of an Ubuntu VM

Question

I am trying to set up a Kubernetes cluster and I need a master and a slave node. The thing is, I am using Virtual machines and both these VM's are on the same system. And the master and worker node cannot have the same IP address.

How do I change the IP of my VM?

Answer 1

Go to your Linux terminal and execute the following command to check for your current IP address

ifconfig

Execute the following command to change the IP

ifconfig eth0 <new-ip>

Answer 2

The easiest method is through network manager:

1- From the top of the screen select the network icon, next to the clock and volume, then click Edit Connections.

2- From the window that opens, go to Wired tab, select your connection (there should be only one connection, if you didn't touch anything). Then click Edit.

3- From the IPv4 Settings tab change Method from Automatic (DHCP) to Manual.

4- Under Addresses feild, click on Add.

5- Enter your desired IP address and subnet mask and click Save, you can also enter an optional DNS server here.

Hope this will help
