I’m running an Ubuntu 17.10 server for my game servers since its the only platform where Steam is supported by Valve. It’s a new Ubuntu 17.10 install without any major changes in the install.
I have set a static IP address in /etc/network/interfaces
but my card keeps recieving a DHCP address as well. So basically the server has my static ip 192.168.1.13
and a DHCP address 192.168.1.226
.
But how can I stop the dhcpclient from acquiring a DHCP assigned IP address?
My network interface shows:
auto ens18
iface ens18 inet static
address 192.168.1.13
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
