Network Settings

These instructions apply to an Ubuntu system. For different Linux distributions, the process to change the IP address may differ.

warning

DHCP is supported but not recommended, because if the address changes Bitstreams may not operate as expected. For example encoding sessions may stop and have issues restarting.

Updating IP Address

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
