How to Configure Static IP on Ubuntu Server 20 04
IP addresses are a crucial part of how networking functions. Using this address, another device on the network can connect to you.
In a home network a router is what typically will assign this IP address to your Ubuntu 20.04 device.
A router implements something called the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This protocol is used for the router to hand out IP addresses to connected devices.
When your Ubuntu device first connects to the router, it will request an IP address. This IP address is typically assigned from a pool of IPs the router is willing to give out.
Some modern routers attempt to assign the same IP address every time it reconnects. Still, this behavior is something that is never guaranteed.
There are a couple of ways that you work around the dynamic allocation so that your Ubuntu 20.4 device will get assigned a static IP address.
