Setting a Static IP

In this learning activity, you will take the DHCP assigned IP address and assign it as a static IP. This is an unforgiving exercise. If you misconfigure the IP address settings, you will need to restart the lab.

Configure Static IPs
```
nmcli con
```
In your career you will need to work with a variety of hardware and device names. In this lab, for this generation of hardware, the network interface DEVICE will normally be eth0. If you observe a different interface DEVICE id for the primary interface adjust the scripts to make use of that DEVICE id.
```
nmcli con mod System\ eth0 ipv4.method manual ipv4.addresses 10.0.1.10/24 ipv4.gateway 10.0.1.1 ipv4.dns 10.0.0.2 ipv4.dns-search ec2.internal
```
Challenge

Verify That the Address Is Now Set Manually, Not Dynamically
```
nmcli con show System\ eth0 | grep ipv4
```
Challenge

Restart Networking
```
systemctl restart network
```
