Configure Static IP Address

Raspbian Jesse changed the way a static IP Address is configured. The static IP settings are now held in a file located in the /etc directory called dhcpcd.conf
To edit the dhcpcd.conf file, enter:

      sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

At the end of the file add the following lines (with your own IP Address values)

  eth0
      static ip_address=192.168.1.14/24
      static routers=192.168.1.1
      static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.4

Save the file.

To enable the changes you can either restart the network service:

      sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Or you can simply reboot:

      sudo reboot
