These instructions apply to an Ubuntu system. For different Linux distribution version the process to change the IP address may differ but it is required to reinstall Bitstreams

Updating IP Address

warning

DHCP is supported but not recommended, because if/when the address changes a script needs to be run to update the software.

  1. SSH into the server, the default IP address is 192.168.1.23
    ssh nvme@<ip address>
  2. Edit the netplan file for the desired IP address. For more information see Netplan Examples.
    sudo nano /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml
    When completed press CTL + x and press Enter.
  3. Apply the changes to update the IP address configurations.
    sudo netplan apply
  4. Verify the new IP address.
    ip a
    In the below example the IP address was changed to 10.0.129.60
